Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to interspecific hybrids of the pumpkin Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita moschata. It is officially recognized as a standard reference sample for conducting tests for distinctness, uniformity, and stability.

The primary purpose of the plant in vegetable growing is its use as a rootstock for other cucurbit crops, such as watermelon or melon, due to the development of a strong root system and resistance to soil-borne pathogens. Morphologically, the variety is characterized by the large size of its fruits.
