Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is distinguished by medium vigor and has a pyramidal crown with drooping branches. The variety is characterized by good immunity to fungal diseases, in particular, it is rarely affected by scab. Winter hardiness is estimated as medium; adult trees tolerate temperatures down to -25...-27°C. Poor compatibility with quince rootstock is noted, requiring the use of an intercalary graft.

Fruits ripen in September-October. Their weight is usually 200–350 g, reaching 600–800 g when using certain rootstocks. The shape is conical, with slight knobbiness. The skin is smooth, thin, and becomes dark yellow with a golden hue and a carmine-red blush upon ripening. The flesh is creamy, buttery, and juicy, with a dessert taste and aroma.
