Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the 'Ananas' type and produces oblong fruits weighing from 1.8 to 2.5 kg. During maturation, the rind changes color from green to beige and becomes covered with fine netting without grooves. The flesh is mint to light green in color.

The plant exhibits resistance to powdery mildew, but can be susceptible to Fusarium wilt, for which it is used in scientific research as a control sample. Upon full maturity, a medium-depth scar forms at the point of fruit stalk attachment.
