Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a traditional folk ethnovariety historically cultivated in Sicily. Researchers consider it part of the local biological heritage, and the variety belongs to the category of endangered or declining cultivars, as traditional orchards are often replaced by modern commercial varieties.

Existing scientific publications lack detailed agronomic data, such as precise tree growth parameters, maturity dates, or detailed disease resistance. Available studies focus primarily on the analysis of genetic diversity and phenotypic study of local populations.

The name of the variety is descriptive and derives from the Italian word meaning sugar. It should be noted that a similar name is also found in other crops, including melon, so it is used for different plants in local dialects.
