Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of a cross between the varieties «Hongyang» and «SF0612M». The fruits have a regular ovoid shape, smooth skin without pubescence, and an average weight of 80 to 120 grams. The flesh is yellow-green with intense red coloration of the inner segments, covering about 40% of the area.

The plant is of a very early maturity group, with yield reaching 300–320 c/ha. The fruits are distinguished by a balanced sweet flavor with tropical notes and resistance to mechanical damage. The keeping quality of the fruits in cold storage is 90 to 150 days.
