Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth, reaching a height of 3.5–8 meters. Young saplings have vertically oriented branches, and with age, the crown forms into a rounded and spreading shape. The foliage is large, dark green, with strongly serrated edges. Entry into the fruiting period occurs later than in many modern varieties.

The fruits are large, oval-oblong in shape, often flattened on one side. Upon ripening, the skin acquires a color ranging from dark red to deep purple with a waxy bloom. The flesh is golden-yellow in color, firm, sweet and sour, relatively dry, with a stone that separates poorly.

The variety possesses high winter hardiness and is adapted to windy conditions and low light. Susceptibility to fungal diseases, in particular to moniliosis, is possible. It is partially self-fertile; cross-pollination with other varieties increases yield.

The fruits do not fall apart during thermal processing, which makes the variety suitable for the preparation of pies, jams, and compotes.
