Variety description

The variety is a long-vined plant suitable for cultivation in the open field and under film covers. Fruit weight usually varies from 5 to 8 kg but can reach 12 kg or more. The surface of the fruit is light green with dark green stripes; the rind is characterized by its firmness, which ensures transportability.

The flesh of the variety is juicy, crisp, with a sugar content of 10–11%. The plant possesses resistance to Fusarium wilt, anthracnose, and exhibits relative drought tolerance. Successful cultivation requires sunny sites with fertile, permeable soil.
