Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a triploid hybrid with round fruits weighing 1.4–3.2 kg. The rind is light green with narrow dark green stripes, and the rind thickness is about 6.3 mm. The flesh is deep red, crisp, and has a pronounced sweet taste.

The plant belongs to the mini-watermelon category, and the fruits are often marketed under the PureHeart brand. Due to the extremely thin rind, the variety is prone to cracking with excess precipitation. Yield varies from high to moderate depending on planting density and growing conditions.
