Variety description

10 August 2026

The mid-season hybrid Bottle Rocket F1 matures in approximately 85 days. The plant has vigorous growth and a well-developed leaf canopy, which protects the fruits from sunburn. The variety is intended for commercial cultivation and requires the mandatory use of a pollinator variety.

The fruits have a dark green rind with indistinct stripes and an elongated-oval shape. The dense and juicy flesh is characterized by a sugar content of up to 12.3%. Seeds in the fruits are underdeveloped; hard seed coats are rare.

The hybrid has high resistance to anthracnose (race 1) and intermediate resistance to Fusarium wilt (race 1).
