Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms a vigorous plant with a developed leaf canopy and root system, capable of retaining ovaries under adverse conditions and adapting to stress. Typically, 3–4 fruits ripen on each bush.

The fruits have an oval shape and deep red crispy flesh with a sugar content (Brix) of up to 13%. The hybrid has a firm rind, which ensures good transportability and long storage without loss of quality.

The variety is intended for cultivation in open field, under plastic covers, and in tunnels. It is resistant to diseases, and the potential yield reaches 120–140 tons per hectare.
