Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, reaching a height from 2.5–3 to 4 meters, sometimes up to 7 meters depending on conditions and rootstock. The variety is early-ripening; fruit ripening occurs in the period from the first half of July to August. The tree does not require annual intensive pruning; formative pruning in the first years of life is sufficient.

The fruits have a rounded shape and a lemon-yellow color, sometimes with small pink dots. The flesh is characterized by juiciness and a marmalade-like consistency; the stone does not separate. The firm skin ensures high marketability and transportability of the harvest.

The variety possesses high winter hardiness, withstanding frosts down to -25°C...-29°C, and high resistance to fungal diseases. Opinions regarding self-fertility vary: the variety is described as partially self-fertile, with the planting of other diploid plums recommended as pollinators.
