Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is classified as ultra-early: the maturation period is 55–60 days after transplanting. The plant is medium-tall, compact, with a powerful root system and developed foliage that protects the fruits from the sun.

The fruits are of the "Hungarian Wax" type and have a smooth cone shape. At technical maturity, they are light green, and at biological maturity, they are bright red; the average weight is 120–180 g with a wall thickness of 6–7 mm.

The variety has high resistance to Tomato mosaic virus (Tm:0–2) and intermediate resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV:0). The produce is recommended for the fresh market, culinary use, and canning.
