Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has vigorous growth and good foliage, protecting the fruits from the sun. The fruits have a broadly elliptical shape, contain 11–13% sugar, and have no hollows or fibers in the flesh. The fruit rind is of medium thickness and high density.

The hybrid is resistant to anthracnose and tolerant to Fusarium wilt (races 0, 1). Intended for cultivation in the open field and under plastic covers, it develops well on sandy and sandy-loam soils.

The fruits are distinguished by their transportability and are suitable for sale on the fresh market. The harvest is capable of maintaining its quality for 25–65 days under appropriate storage conditions.
