Description Light
Autumn variety developed at the Krasnoyarsk Experimental Station of Pomology by N. N. Tikhonov and A. S. Tolmacheva from crossing the early variety Lalietino with Papirovka.
Gardeners in the Krasnoyarsk region and neighboring areas cultivate this variety. It is intended for collective orchards.

Medium-sized tree with a moderately dense, rounded crown. Bark is smooth and gray. Bears fruit on young 2-4-year-old wood on simple and complex rings and spurs.

Shoots are thick, slightly curved, round in cross-section, brown, densely hairy. Buds are few, small, tightly pressed, round, hairy. Leaves are medium-sized, elongated, egg-shaped with serrated margins, densely hairy, light green. Petiole is medium-sized, hairy, purplish-red.
Flowers are large, white, small cup-shaped, weakly fragrant. Petals are egg-shaped, slightly overlapping. Stigmas are short. Stigma stalks are higher than stamens.

Fruits are medium-sized (up to 80-90 g), rounded-conical, slightly ribbed, with a seam like in Papirovka, slightly sloped. Skin is smooth and shiny. Color is light green, without covering. Peduncle is long, thin, curved. Calyx cup is deep, medium width, without rusting. Calyx is closed, in a small, narrow, ribbed dish. Sub-calyx tube is medium, cup-shaped. Axial cavity connects with seed chambers.
Flesh is greenish, loose, very juicy, tart-sweet flavor with strong aroma. Chemical composition of the fruit: dry matter — 14.1% (16), sugars — 9.4%, ascorbic acid — 21.5 to 35.2 mg/100g, vitamin P — 163 to 220 mg/100g, titratable acids — 0.78%, sugar-to-acid ratio — 12.0, tannins — 0.17%.

Fruits ripen in autumn. Harvesting begins in early September, storage period until November.
Fruits require careful handling during harvesting and transport. Uses: fresh consumption, compote, juice, puree.
Pollinators: Vega, Mana, Chayka, Loyko, Foniark.
Fruit production begins in the 4th year of life. Yield increases rapidly; on average, over the first 9 years of fruiting, it amounts to 48 centners/ha, with a maximum of 75 centners/ha, and at 16 years — 178 centners/ha. Yield is regular.
Winter hardiness is satisfactory; no tree losses occurred during critical winters in the 1960s and 1980s. Regenerative capacity is high. The variety is resistant to scab and drought.

Advantages of the variety: relatively large-fruited, summer variety, resistant to scab and drought, early-bearing and high-yielding, high content of ascorbic acid.

Disadvantages of the variety: insufficient transportability and storage life.
