Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth, reaching 3–4.5 meters, but responds well to formative pruning. The variety is partially self-fertile, requires pollinators, and possesses high winter hardiness down to -28°C…-30°C and drought tolerance. Young saplings may require support in the first years.

Fruits are large, round-shaped, weighing from 140 to 500 g, and have yellow-brown skin with grey dots. The cream-colored flesh is crunchy and very sweet. Fruits are not prone to dropping, are suitable for long-term storage until March, and possess high transportability.

The variety shows high resistance to fire blight, scab, and powdery mildew. The harvest ripens in the period from mid-September to early October. Fruits are suitable for both fresh consumption and various types of culinary processing.
