Variety description

10 August 2026

Tree is medium-sized, with a broad-pyramidal drooping crown and moderate growth habit. A characteristic feature is the formation of flower buds at the tips of shoots, which requires caution during pruning. The variety is self-sterile and requires cross-pollination.

Fruits are small or medium-sized with thin skin, which turns golden-yellow upon ripening, often with grey dots and russet patches. Flesh is orange-pinkish or whitish, tender, without stone cells. Taste is sweet with a slight acidity.

Harvest maturity occurs in late September or October; fruits maintain quality until March. The variety possesses winter hardiness and relative resistance to scab. Fruits are prone to overloading the tree, therefore thinning of ovaries is recommended.
