Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early to medium-early maturing, with a ripening period of 65–68 days. The plant is characterized by a powerful root system, high vigor, and developed foliage that protects the fruits from sunscald.

The fruits have an elongated-oval shape, dark green rind with light stripes, and a firm structure. The flesh is bright red, juicy, tender, with a sugar content of up to 12 percent and a small number of seeds. The fruits are not prone to cracking or over-ripening in the field.

The variety possesses resistance to Fusarium wilt (Fon: 0,1) and fluctuations in growing conditions. The harvest handles long-distance transportation and long-term storage well; it is intended for the fresh market, pickling, processing, and juice production.
