Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, reaching 4–4.5 meters in height, with a spreading-drooping or spherical crown. Thin, long, brownish-red shoots give the plant a decorative appearance. The variety is partially self-fertile; for higher yields, the proximity of other pollinator varieties is recommended.

Fruits weighing 75–100 g have a regular pear shape and thin, tender skin. Fruit color changes from green to greenish-yellow, often with a bright reddish blush on the sunny side. The flesh is white, juicy, and has a sweet-and-sour taste.

Harvest maturity occurs in the late twenties of July. Fruit shelf life is short — from 3 to 5 days. The variety has good immunity to scab; winter hardiness is medium, although early flowering makes flower buds vulnerable to spring frosts.
