Fruits suitable for fresh consumption, drying, and various preservation methods. Preservation evaluation: frozen fruits — 4.8 points, prunes — 4.5 points, compote — 5 points, juice with pulp — 4.6 points, pickles — 4.5 points. Fruits contain, per fresh weight: dry matter — 21.6%, sugars — 13.8%, acids — 0.72%, sugar-acid index 19.17%, pectin substances — 1.02%, polyphenols — 460 mg/100g, ascorbic acid — 8.9 mg/100g.
Blooms at medium time — mid-April. Partially self-fertile. Ripens late — early September. Enters fruiting on 4-5th year. High and regular yield. High winter hardiness. Moderate drought resistance. Resistant to polyphagous pests and scab, but insufficiently resistant to moniliosis.
Advantages: yield, large fruit size, high fruit quality, winter hardiness.
Disadvantages: insufficient resistance to moniliosis.
