It ripens on average between July 8 and 19, approximately 10 to 15 days after the Bergeron reference. This characteristic makes it a particularly interesting variety for producers wishing to extend the harvest season and meet market demand in late summer. It is not recommended to plant it in areas that are too early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003e Description of the fruit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003e The fruits are attractive and of an excellent size, with a size ranging from 2A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003eand 3A, often oriented towards the large size (3A). Their shape is oval to rounded. The skin has a bright orange background, enhanced by a red blush covering up to 45% of the surface, which gives the fruit a significant visual appeal on the shelves. The flesh is fine, juicy, with a pleasant texture.

Its firmness allows for transport without significant damage, and storage is satisfactory.

Although generally considered self-fertile, some sources mention partial self-fertility.

However, the available data do not allow us to determine precisely its resistance to other diseases such as brown rot or bacterial diseases.
