Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a vining, semi-bush growth habit with moderate shoot development, which allows it to be grown in small areas. The fruits are spherical, slightly flattened, and reach a weight of 3–6 kg. The skin color changes during maturation from light red with cream stripes to darker shades.

The flesh of the fruit is intensely orange, thick, firm, and sweet, containing more than 10% dry matter. The skin is thin and does not require peeling during preparation. The variety is distinguished by good keeping quality, allowing the fruits to be stored for several months after harvest.

The variety is for universal use. Due to the high content of sugars and beta-carotene, the fruits are suitable for making juices, purees, soups, and jams, as well as for baking and pickling.
