The plant has a trailing form with compact development. A distinctive genetic trait of the variety is the yellow-green pigmentation of the leaves.

The variety belongs to the maturity group of about 90 days, with a yield of 3–5 fruits per plant. The flesh is edible and noted for its good taste. The plant is hardy, has good keeping quality, and requires warm permeable soils and an area of 1–2 sq. m per plant for cultivation.
