The vegetation period of the variety is about 90–100 days. The plant can be represented by either long-vined forms with vines up to 2.4 m, or compact bush modifications. The variety requires warmth for ripening; in case of excessive humidity in summer, there is a risk of fruit rot at the peduncle.
The fruits are dark green, often with a turban-shaped protrusion in the lower part, and have a weight from 1.2 to 3 kg. The flesh is bright yellow or orange, has a buttery texture and a sweet taste. The fruits are used in cooking for baking, preparing soups, and purees.
