Variety description

10 August 2026

The Zimbawe F1 variety is a triploid hybrid characterized by the absence of fully developed seeds. The fruits have a regular round shape, and their weight varies from 4 to 6 kg. The rind is colored in a very dark, almost black color.

The flesh of the fruits has a deep red shade, a crispy texture, and a high sugar content. The variety shows resistance to cracking, sunburn, and Fusarium wilt caused by races 0, 1, and 2 of the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum.

The plant is distinguished by high marketable yield and good uniformity of fruits, which allows the variety to be used to obtain high-quality produce that meets modern market requirements.
