Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an heirloom of folk selection, known since the end of the 19th century. The growing period is from 95 to 110 days. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth and good resistance to powdery mildew.

The fruits reach a diameter of 18–25 cm. The flesh has a sweet honey flavor and a distinct aroma. Due to the firm rind, the variety is suitable for long-term storage, which allows it to be classified as a "winter" melon.
