Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with a vegetation period lasting 60–65 days after transplanting. The plant is balanced, possesses good leaf cover capacity, high growth vigor, and the ability to set fruit. The crop is suitable for cultivation in open field and protected cultivation.

Fruits are round in shape, weighing 3–4 kg, and 4–5 kg when grafted. The rind has a striped color, the flesh is bright yellow, with a crisp structure and a sugar content of about 13° Brix. The variety is seedless, which requires the mandatory presence of a pollinator variety on the plot.
