The plant belongs to the reticulated melon group and is characterized by vigorous growth. The vines have a pronounced climbinghabit, which is why the variety is traditionally cultivated using supports or trellises.
The fruits have a spherical, slightly flattened shape and an average weight from 500 g to 1.5 kg. The surface is covered with a light netting, and the skin changes color from green to beige or yellowish upon ripening. The flesh has a light green shade, sometimes with orange flecks near the center.
The variety possesses a specific taste, which is less sweet compared to modern hybrids, and contains savory notes. The plant is characterized by low resistance to Fusarium, and the fruits are not intended for long-term storage and require consumption shortly after harvest.
