Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has moderate to vigorous growth and forms a compact, medium-dense canopy with upward-growing shoots. It enters into fruiting 3–4 years after planting. The variety shows good winter hardiness, resistance to Monilinia under standard protection, and tolerance to Plum pox virus.

Fruits are medium-sized, weighing 30–50 g, with an elliptical or broadly oval shape. The skin is dark blue, often covered with a bluish waxy bloom. The flesh is yellow-green or orange-yellow, firm, juicy, and has an easily removable stone. The fruits are not prone to dropping and remain on the branches for a long time after ripening.

The variety ripens in late July or early August. The question of self-fertility remains debatable, so to obtain a bountiful harvest, it is recommended to plant pollinator varieties such as 'Jojo', 'Węgierka Dąbrowicka', 'Cacanska Rana', or 'Emper'. The produce is suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.
