Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree of this variety has moderate to vigorous growth and forms an upright canopy. The variety is characterized by early fruit ripening, average cold requirement for the dormancy period, and normal susceptibility to diseases under standard maintenance.

The fruits have a round, slightly flattened shape, purple skin, and melting light yellow flesh, from which the pit separates with difficulty. The variety is self-incompatible; for fruit set, pollinators such as Fortune or Ruby Red are required. The produce is suitable for long-term storage and is intended for the fresh market.
