Variety description

10 August 2026

The fruits of the variety have a round shape and a characteristic tiger-stripe pattern with thin dark stripes on a light background. The plant is noted for its vigorous growth, high development energy, and a long flowering period, which ensures consistently high yields.

The watermelon flesh is characterized by pronounced sweetness, a crisp texture, and a small quantity of small seeds. The variety has good keeping quality indices and high or intermediate resistance to powdery mildew.

The hybrid is suitable for cultivation as a monoculture and is also widely used as a pollinator for triploid seedless watermelon varieties. Due to similar growth rates and fruit setting, the variety allows for the synchronization of harvest times with main plantings.
