This cultivar matures at the end of August, or first half of September. The fruit is average in size (38g), with reverse egg shape; its exocarp is dark blue and the mesocarp is greenish-yellow, with juicy sweetish taste. This variety has taken primacy over POZEGACA cultivar, despite its less aromatic taste, not because of its size, but because it’s a carrier of plum pox virus, which ruins POZEGACA. |

This cultivar has the best quality fruit, which ripen at the end of August, or at the start of September. The fruit size is categorized as small (average 15-17g), it’s egg-shaped and has a crease over the longer side. The exocarp is dark blue and covered in epicuticular wax, while mesocarp is golden yellow, firm, but succulent, aromatic, sweet-sour and top quality. Its use is very diverse, due to its extraordinary reference. Due to its sensitivity to Polystigma rubrum, Tranzschelia pruni-spinosae, bladder plum gall, and especially to plum pox virus, further growing of this variety is not only limited, but most fruit growers are switching to more resistant cultivars. |
