Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is noted for its compact size, reaching 5 meters in height, and has a tendency to form a weeping crown. The variety is characterized by high yield, which requires fruit thinning to prevent branch breakage.

Fruits are small to medium-sized, oval-oblong in shape, with yellow skin, a pinkish-red blush, dots, and a lavender bloom. The flesh is golden-yellow, juicy, and sweet; the stone separates easily. Fruits are prone to shedding and mechanical damage, and the skin may crack.

The variety is partially self-fertile; presence of pollinators is recommended to increase yield. It possesses frost resistance, but early flowering makes it vulnerable to spring frosts; sensitivity to bacterial canker is noted.
