Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-maturing, with a ripening period of 75–80 days after transplanting. The plant forms vines of medium vigor and branches moderately. The recommended feeding area is 1–2 m² per plant.

The fruits are portion-sized, with an average weight ranging from 1,3–2,5 kg to 3,6–5 kg. The shape of the fruits is round, the rind is thin, light green in color with dark "tiger" stripes. The flesh is bright yellow or lemon-colored, crispy, juicy, with a high sugar content.

The variety is resistant to cool weather conditions. Best results are achieved when grown via seedlings with subsequent transplanting into the open field or greenhouse. The fruits are intended for fresh consumption, have an average shelf life, and it is recommended to use them soon after ripening.
