Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is moderately vigorous, 2.8–4.5 m tall, with a spreading crown and shoots prone to drooping. Fruiting begins in the 2–4th year after planting. The variety is self-fertile, however, the presence of pollinators increases yield.

The fruits are round in shape with a mass of 160–250 g (up to 600 g with thinning) and have bronze-gold skin with roughness. The cream-colored flesh is distinguished by a crunchy texture, sweetness with a slight acidity, and a pronounced aroma.

The variety is early or mid-season ripening, with harvest maturity occurring in late August — early September. The plant requires annual pruning, sunny sites, and well-drained soils, and shows susceptibility to fire blight.
