The flowers are somewhat greenish-white. The stone fruit is 2 to 3.5 centimeters long, yellow, red or blue in color, elongated, double-pointed, very soft and precocious. The stone core is 45 to 50% as thick as it is long, very flattened, double-pointed and has a slight curvature. It detaches from the pulp, its dorsal furrow has only narrow ridges. The pulp tastes sweet, mirabelle-like, the sugar content can be up to 19%.
