Tree of medium height. Crown spreading, medium density and foliage. Bark color (on sun-exposed side) dark. Young shoot: anthocyanin coloration at the tip (shoot 10-15 cm long) weak. One-year shoot: few lenticels, protruding, small protrusion under vegetative bud, weak branching. Bud (vegetative and generative) medium size, slightly deviated relative to the shoot. Leaf blade inversely egg-shaped, medium size, dark green coloration on upper side, base obtuse, apex long-pointed, tip angle sharp, margin finely toothed, margin waviness weak. Petiole short, medium thickness, anthocyanin coloration on upper and lower sides medium, few small glands. Flower medium, stigma above stamens. Petals egg-shaped, degree of closeness — free. Calyx triangular. Flower stalk medium length. Flowering and fruiting type — primarily on cluster branches).
Fruit weighing 14 g, round shape, small scar, medium depth of indentation at the pedicel base, tip shape pointed, apex absent. Surface smooth, main skin color dark red, anthocyanin skin coloration absent. Flesh creamy-green, fibrous texture, medium density. Stone oval, medium mass — 6.4% of flesh. Stone: color (fresh) — brown. Stone: apex shape rounded, dorsal suture narrowly open, ventral suture medium, central rib expression medium, lateral ribs weakly noticeable. Detachment from flesh good.
