Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, reaching a height of 3.5–4 meters. The variety is a hybrid created as a result of crossing Chinese plum with other plum species. It requires cross-pollination with other diploid varieties to produce a crop.

Fruits are large, with a mass of 80–130 g, oval or heart-shaped. The skin is pinkish-red or purple with light-colored subcutaneous dots. The flesh is bright yellow, juicy, with a pronounced aroma and sweet taste. The stone does not separate from the flesh.

The variety enters bearing in the 3rd–4th year. Winter hardiness is up to -28...-33°C; the tree is resistant to recurrent frosts and leaf spots. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and processing and possess good transportability.
