Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as very early; the period from flowering to harvest is about 96 days. The fruits are large, reaching 8.9 cm in diameter, have a round shape, dense yellow clingstone flesh, and skin with a red blush on a bright yellow background.

Trees of this variety are characterized as unproductive and highly susceptible to bacterial spot, which has limited the spread of the variety in commercial orcharding.
