Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with a maturation period of 60–75 days from transplanting or 72–77 days from emergence. The plant produces from 4 to 6 fruits per bush. When growing this seedless hybrid, the presence of a pollinator variety in the field is mandatory.

The fruits have a uniform round shape and are covered with a very thin shiny light green rind. The flesh is dark red, firm, crispy, fiberless, and has a high sugar content. Fruit weight varies from 2 to 5 kg.

The hybrid has resistance to anthracnose (Co: 1) and Fusarium wilt (Fon: 0, 1). The intended use of the harvest is fresh consumption; the fruits are suitable for transportation.
