At present the cultivar is undergoing the cultivar release procedure. It ripens early - 25 days before Independence and 10 days after Aurelio Grand. Fruit are large - 122.45 g, exceeding in weight those of Aurelio Grand by approximately 20 g. Fruit skin is thin, crispy, semi-free, intense red all over the surface. Flesh is yellow, fine textured, juicy, of pleasant sweet-acid flavour. Gergana is practically the first Bulgarian nectarine cultivar since no other nectarine cultivar has been registered in Bulgaria. The aim of the present study was to perform pomological and economic evaluation of this cultivar.
