Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to mid-early hybrids with a ripening period of about 80 days. The fruits have an oblong oval shape and bright green skin with dark green stripes. The average fruit weight varies from 15 to 20 pounds, while in southern regions the size may be larger.

The fruit flesh is bright red, crisp, with a fine texture and small seeds. The hybrid is distinguished by a high sugar content and is capable of producing a good yield even in regions with a short growing season. The plant possesses genetic resistance to anthracnose and Fusarium wilt race 1.

The variety is intended for cultivation in open field and amateur gardening. Due to its flavor qualities and marketability, the fruits are recommended for fresh consumption.
