Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as an autumn type; fruit harvesting is carried out in October, and the consumption period lasts from mid-October to December. The medium-sized fruit has a turbinate shape and rough skin of brownish-orange or dark brown shades with a bronze marbled pattern. The white flesh is characterized by high juiciness and a melting texture; the taste is sweet with slight acidity and aroma.

When cultivated in bush form, the tree reaches 3–4 meters in height and is distinguished by vigorous growth and a strong structure. The variety possesses good winter hardiness down to -20°C and high resistance to scab and "pear wilt" disease. Flowering begins in early April; the tree is self-fertile, but cross-pollination with other varieties increases yield.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption and culinary processing, including the preparation of compotes, jams, juices, and use in baking.
