Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized with a compact crown. Pear-shaped fruits weighing 160–260 g have greenish-yellow skin, which becomes golden upon ripening with a possible pink-red blush. The flesh is creamy white, buttery, juicy, with a pronounced aroma.

The variety is early-bearing, fruiting begins in the 2–3rd year. Yield is high and regular, prone to fruit overload. The ripening period occurs 3–4 weeks after the Williams variety. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and processing, store for up to 2–3 months, and in a refrigerator — until spring.

Distinguished by high resistance to fire blight and powdery mildew; susceptibility to scab is possible. Shows good winter hardiness. It is recommended to harvest fruits before they reach full consumer ripeness for subsequent ripening.
