Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is a vigorous plant with well-developed leaf cover that protects the fruits from sunburn. The fruits have an oblong-oval shape, green rind with dark green stripes, and an average weight of 9–12 kg. The flesh is colored deep dark red, has a crunchy texture, contains small seeds, and has a sugar content of 10–11% on the Brix scale.

The variety is classified as mid-season or mid-early, with a ripening period of 70 to 85 days. The plant is characterized by high yield and good transportability. It is intended for open field cultivation, can be used as a pollinator for seedless watermelons, and is often grown using grafting onto cucurbit rootstocks.
