Variety description

10 August 2026

The name is often used as a general trade designation for early-maturing hybrids of the Cucumis melo reticulatus group, rather than as an officially registered breeding variety. Reliable data on origin and parental forms are absent, as seeds of various lines may be sold under this name.

Fruits weighing 0.9–1.4 kg have a netted surface, sweet orange flesh, and mature in 65 days when sown in open ground. The crop is distinguished by good cold tolerance, setting fruit at night temperatures of 16–17°C. Data on disease resistance are not detailed and depend on the specific producer.
