Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-season, with a vegetation period of 80 to 85 days. The plant is characterized by vigorous vines reaching 4.5 meters in length, which requires significant planting distances. The variety shows tolerance to Fusarium wilt.

Fruits have an oval shape and green striped rind coloration. The flesh is bright red, crisp, with a sugar content of about 11%. As a triploid hybrid, the variety practically does not form fully developed seeds, containing only underdeveloped light-colored seed coats instead.

For successful fruit setting, the variety requires cross-pollination, therefore, planting of pollinator plants nearby is required during cultivation. The variety is suitable for commercial sale due to good transportability.
