Variety description

The fruits have a dark green rind with stripes, deep red crisp flesh with small seeds, and a Brix value of 12.5–13%. The variety is suitable for transportation, sale in the fresh market, and processing.

The crop is grown in open field and plastic tunnels. Recommended planting density is 6–8 thousand plants per hectare; when using special rootstocks, density can be reduced.
