Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms round or oval fruits with a dark green rind, which may have black stripes. The weight of a single fruit varies from 6 to 10 kg. The flesh has a bright red color, possesses a crispy texture and a sweet taste with a sugar content of 11-13%.

The variety belongs to the mid-season group; the ripening period ranges from 70 to 90 days depending on growing conditions. Like other triploid hybrids, it requires the planting of pollinator plants. The fruits are distinguished by high transportability and are suitable for long-term storage.
