Variety description

10 August 2026

Early or medium-early hybrid, maturing 60–70 days after transplanting. The plant has strong growth vigor and a well-developed leaf canopy, which protects the fruits from sunburn.

The fruits have an oval shape and the striped skin typical for the Crimson Sweet type. The flesh is an intense scarlet color, crisp, with a sugar content of 11–13% and no pronounced fiber. Average fruit weight is 8–10 kg, with good agronomic practices — up to 12 kg.

The hybrid is resistant to drought, Fusarium wilt, and anthracnose. Due to strong rinds, the fruits are suitable for long-term storage and long-distance transport. Intended for cultivation in the open field, under temporary plastic covers, and in tunnels.
