Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the long-fruited or snake cucumber type, intended for cultivation in greenhouses under glass or film. The plant is parthenocarpic with a predominant female flowering type; however, under stress conditions, the appearance of individual male flowers is possible. A feature of the variety is a reduced nutrient requirement compared to similar crops.

The fruits of the variety have a smooth surface and are colored medium to dark green. During hot periods, the plant is prone to leaf and fruit scorch, so shading is recommended during cultivation. The variety is seed-bearing (open-pollinated), which allows for the self-collection of seeds for subsequent planting.
