Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms oval or elongated-oval fruits with yellow skin and light stripes. Fruit weight varies from 3 to 10 kg depending on growing conditions. The flesh has a bright yellow color, delicate texture, and a sugar content of 11–12% on the Brix scale.

The plant possesses strong vigor, a developed root system, and a powerful leaf canopy that protects the fruits from sunburn. The variety is distinguished by high stress tolerance to adverse weather conditions, immunity to major diseases and fungi, as well as good transportability due to the firm rind.
