Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid matures in 84–85 days. The plant is characterized by vigorous vine growth and large leaves, which provides protection for the fruits against sunburn and contributes to good fruit setting.

The fruits are oval-shaped with a dark green color and stripes. The flesh is intensely red with high sugar content. The weight of a single fruit is between 16 and 20 pounds.

The variety has intermediate resistance to Fusarium wilt (races 0 and 1) and anthracnose (race 1).
