Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms oval fruits weighing from 2.5 to 5 kg, often with a flat base and narrowing at the stem. The firm rind changes color from yellow-green to golden-yellow upon ripening and may have a waxy bloom; there is no netting on the surface.

The flesh is tender, sweet, with a rich aroma and a spicy undertone. The fruits are of the dessert type, suitable for fresh consumption and culinary processing due to high pectin content. The rind is delicate, so the fruits require careful transportation.

The variety is mid-season, the growing period is 90–100 days. The crop requires a long, warm, frost-free period for ripening. The fruits need protection from direct sunlight to prevent sunscald.
