Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is characterized by vigorous yet compact growth and abundant flowering, which begins early and continues throughout the entire growing season. Due to this, the variety is effective for pollinating both early-maturing and late-maturing watermelons.

The fruits are small, with a mass of 200 to 500 g, covered with a light gray rind, which facilitates their identification during the harvest of the main crop. The variety exhibits tolerance to Fusarium wilt and also possesses intermediate resistance to powdery mildew, anthracnose, and cool growing conditions.
