Variety description

10 August 2026

Trees are vigorous, with a spreading or obovate crown, reaching 3–4 meters in height. Fruit has an average weight of 35–60 g, a round or round-ovoid shape, often with a small protrusion. The skin is lemon-yellow, acquiring an amber-golden hue upon full ripening, sometimes with a pink blush.

The flesh is yellow, very juicy, with a firm consistency, and possesses a sweet-and-sour taste. The stone separates partially or with difficulty. The variety is characterized by regular high yields and requires fruit thinning. It possesses high winter hardiness, but in harsh climates, it is inferior to local Ussuriysk varieties.

The variety has a universal purpose: suitable for fresh consumption and processing. It is considered an effective pollinator for many diploid plum varieties. The issue of self-fertility remains debatable; there is data on both partial self-fertility and self-sterility.
