Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an anthocyanin mutant of the Williams variety. The tree is characterized by low vigor and a compact round-pyramidal crown shape. The variety does not possess high winter hardiness and shows a tendency toward chimera instability, where fruits without the characteristic red coloration may appear on the branches.

Fruits are pear-shaped, slightly knobby, with a weight of about 180 g. The overcolor is dark burgundy, becoming bright red upon full ripening. The flesh is yellowish-white, tender, juicy, with a muscat flavor. The harvest is suitable for fresh consumption and processing; transportability is satisfactory.

The variety is classified as late-summer; harvest maturity occurs in late August. In refrigerated storage conditions, fruits keep until November. The crop requires the presence of pollinator varieties and is relatively resistant to scab.
