- A shrub with moderately vigorous growth. Its habit is upright and spreading. After 7 years of cultivation, it reaches 1.7 m in height and 1.5 m in width.
- The fruit is spherical, oval-round, and large, with an average weight of 2 g. Average fruit size: 1.8 to 2 cm in length and 1.4 to 1.5 cm in width, covered with a waxy coating, and attractive in appearance. The flesh has a firm consistency and a pleasant, mildly acidic flavor, with a BRIX value of 15° (breeder’s data). The fruit stalk is short. The stalk scar is dry.
- The fruit ripens in approximately 60 days from full flowering. The fruit has a wide range of uses. The fruit does not shed, making it suitable for mechanical harvesting. It clings strongly enough to the branch to prevent pre-harvest drop, yet is loose enough to allow mechanical harvesting without damaging the skin.
