Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, forming a wide spreading canopy of medium density with long internodes on the shoots. Fruits are of medium size, about 32 g, with a round or slightly conical shape. The skin is dark purple in color, covered with an intense blue bloom and small red dots.

The flesh is tender, juicy, greenish-yellow in color, with delicate veins. The stone is large and easily separates from the flesh. The variety belongs to the late category, ripening in early September. The fruits are of universal use, suitable for fresh consumption and processing.

For stable yields, cultivation in warm conditions is recommended, for example, as wall-trained trees against a south-facing wall. Under unfavorable growing conditions, the tree becomes susceptible to diseases.
