Trees of the group reach a height of 5 to 7 meters and form a rounded or spherical crown. Young shoots are often distinguished by a reddish-green or reddish-brown hue and the presence of pubescence.
The fruits are spherical or ovoid in shape and reach 4–5 cm in diameter. Their color varies from green and yellow to maroon and dark purple; the surface of the skin is often covered with a waxy bloom. The fruit flesh is characterized by juiciness, sweetness, and a delicate texture.
Most varieties in the group are self-sterile, therefore planting pollinator varieties is required for a full harvest. Representatives of the group possess adaptability to various conditions, winter hardiness, and resistance to fungal diseases, although specific indicators depend on the variety.
