Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, with a spreading crown and strong scaffold branches. The variety is self-fertile and does not require planting additional pollinators. Fruits ripen 6–7 days after the Redhaven variety.

Fruits are medium or small, round-shaped, with smooth skin and minimal pubescence. The primary skin color is golden yellow, covered with a red or dark crimson blush on 70–80% of the surface. The flesh is yellow, juicy, and separates well from the pit.

The variety possesses moderate winter hardiness and demonstrates resistance of flower buds to late spring frosts. A certain resistance to leaf curl is noted, while the tree can be susceptible to bacterial spot.
