Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with a vegetation period of 62–65 days after transplanting, which in certain conditions can reach 78–82 days. The plant is vigorous and strong, with a well-developed leaf canopy that protects the fruits from sunburn.

The round fruits weigh 3.0–6.0 kg and have a very dark, glossy rind with a waxy bloom. The flesh is deep-red, crisp, with a sugar content of 12–13% on the Brix scale. Only underdeveloped, whitish seeds may be present inside the fruits.

The variety shows resistance to leaf scorch and temperature fluctuations. The hybrid is intended for producing high-quality yields both for market sale and for cultivation by gardeners.
