Variety description

10 August 2026

The period from transplanting to harvest is 60–70 days. The plant is vigorous, with a well-developed leaf canopy that protects the fruits from sunburn.

The fruits are round in shape, dark green in color without distinct stripes. Their weight is 3–4 kg, and under favorable conditions — 6–8 kg. The flesh is dark red or bright reddish-pink, crisp, with a sugar content reaching 11–12% on the Brix scale.

The hybrid is resistant to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose. It is intended for cultivation in the open field; in temperate climate conditions, the use of film covers or spunbond is recommended.
