Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant belongs to mid-early hybrids with a ripening period of about 90 days from seedling transplanting. It has a powerful root system and strong growth vigor, adapts well to growing conditions, and dense foliage provides protection for the fruits from the sun.

The fruits have a light green rind with narrow dark green stripes of the Jubilee type. The bright yellow flesh is firm and crunchy, without a specific squash-like aftertaste. The hybrid is seedless, therefore requiring the use of pollinator plants during cultivation.

The variety has resistance to anthracnose and Fusarium wilt. The produce is intended for fresh market sale and commercial production, valued as a dessert variety with an original flesh color.
