Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree reaches a height of about 3.5 meters and has a dense oval crown. The variety is precocious, beginning to bear fruit in the third year after planting. Winter hardiness is assessed as medium, corresponding to USDA zones 6–9. The plant exhibits resistance to most common plum diseases.

Fruits are large, spherical or slightly flattened, with a weight of 50 to 150 g. The skin is firm, dark purple, turning blue-black upon ripening, and covered with a waxy bloom. The flesh is yellow or pinkish-yellow, juicy and firm; the stone separates well.

The variety is self-sterile and requires the presence of pollinator varieties nearby, such as Black Amber, Satsuma, Santa Rosa, or Ozark Premier. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and industrial processing.
