A mid-season variety with a growing period of 105–120 days. The plant is vining, possesses vigorous growth, and requires a large area for cultivation. Fruits are spindle-shaped or teardrop-shaped, weighing on average from 5 to 10 kg, and in some cases reaching 15–20 kg. The rind is hard, gray-blue in color, with slight ribbing and bumpiness.
The flesh is dark orange, dense, non-fibrous, with a sweet taste. The fruits are suitable for various types of culinary processing and are distinguished by high keeping quality, retaining their consumer properties for up to 12 months. Due to the hard rind, cutting the fruits requires effort.
The variety possesses cold hardiness and is often used as a trap crop to protect other cucurbits from insect pests. A compact variety, Baby Blue Hubbard, exists with similar fruit characteristics of a smaller size.
