Variety description

10 August 2026

Red Heaven F1 is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of 65–72 days after transplanting. The vigorous plant with dense foliage provides reliable protection of fruits from sunburn and is capable of regeneration after stress conditions.

The fruits are round-oval in shape, have a dark green rind with light stripes, and reach a weight of 12–16 kg, sometimes up to 20 kg. The flesh is deep scarlet, juicy, with a sugar content of 11–12% on the Brix scale.

The hybrid possesses resistance to Fusarium oxysporum (races 0, 1) and Colletotrichum orbiculare (race 1), and also withstands transportation well. The variety is intended for open field and film shelters, and is suitable for fresh consumption and processing.
