Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a vigorous long-vined plant with dense foliage. The ripening period is from 75 to 90 days. The fruits have an elongated-cylindrical shape and a weight of 10 to 16 kg, in some cases reaching 18 kg.

The fruit rind is thick, up to 20 mm, hard, light green or gray in color, which protects the flesh from overheating and ensures long-term storage of up to 2.5 months. The flesh is intensely red, with a grainy structure, crunchy, and a sugar content of 10–11%.
