The variety is mentioned in gene banks as a specimen of Danish origin under the index NGB 11915. There is a discrepancy in classification: in official seed registries it is referred to the species Cucurbita pepo, whereas amateur vegetable growers, based on traits such as seed size and growth habit, classify it as Cucurbita maxima.
The plant possesses a pronounced ability to form adventitious roots at stem nodes, which contributes to an increase in overall vigor. The variety is distinguished by large seeds and well-developed cotyledons at the seedling stage. Detailed agrotechnical characteristics and data on the vegetation period are unavailable.
