Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the 'tiger' type mini-watermelon category with a maturity period of 84–86 days. The plant has vigorous growth, ensuring protection of the fruits from sunburn by the foliage, and a high fruit-setting capacity.

The fruits have a round shape, a striped pattern, and a weight of 1.5 to 3 kg. The intensely red flesh has a crunchy texture and a sugar content of 11–13 degrees Brix; seeds are small. The hybrid has intermediate resistance to anthracnose.

The firm rind contributes to maintaining product quality during transport and long-term storage.
