Variety description

10 August 2026

Fruit maturity period is 85–90 days. The plant possesses strong growth vigor and the ability to provide good fruit cover with foliage, which allows it to be used as a pollinator for seedless watermelons. The hybrid is characterized by high uniformity of produce.

Fruits have an elongated shape and reach a weight of 11–14 kg, in some cases up to 16 kg. Rind color is medium-green with light green stripes. The dense dark-red flesh has a high sugar content. The fruits are characterized by good transportability and long storage life.

The hybrid demonstrates resistance to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose. The variety is intended for open field cultivation and is recommended for the main production season, as well as for obtaining early produce.
