Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by medium growth vigor and a spreading crown shape. The variety is not self-fertile and requires cross-pollination. It enters bearing at an average time, and productivity is stable.

Fruits ripen in the first ten days of August. They have a weight of 75–80 g, a round or obovate shape, and a blue-violet skin with a moderately expressed suture. The flesh is yellow-green, juicy and firm; the stone is freestone. The sugar content is about 18.5° Brix.

The variety is less susceptible to bacteriosis compared to diploid plum species. Fertigation is recommended to obtain high-quality produce.
