Fruits located on dense clusters, light orange, weight of 100 fruits is 50 – 80 g.* In Latvia ripens at the beginning of September, harvesting period until fruits get overripened is about three weeks. Comparatively resistant against fungal and bacterial pathogens**. Fruits are used for juice and oil production. Detaching index of frozen fruits is 71 ***. Most popular variety for commercial orchards.
* Weight of fruits depends on availability of water and nutrients
** Resistance of sea buckthorn against pathogens Verticillium dahliae ,Stygmina sp., Pseudomonas sp. depends on conformity of varieties to climate and proper conditions of growing.
*** Detaching index of frozen fruits indicates how many percents of fruits fall off from defoliated fruit branch, that has been frozen to – 25°C and thrown down to solid metallic plate from height of 1 m. It is important parameter, when fruits are shaken off from frozen branches. As larger the index, as easier is process.
