Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is vigorous, with a strong root system and large leaves that protect the fruits from sunburn. The fruits are round or round-oval in shape, dark green in color, often with a waxy bloom, and have medium-thickness rind walls.

The flesh is dense, with a delicate, fiber-free structure. The sugar content is 11–12%. The hybrid is characterized by concentrated ripening, good transportability, and moderate resistance to Fusarium wilt.

Intended for early production in the open field and under plastic covers. Possesses high resistance to stressful growing conditions.
