The variety forms vigorous plants with trailing stems 4–5 meters long. The fruits have a round or oblate shape with a smooth or slightly segmented surface and grey-white skin color. The flesh thickness is 4–5 cm, the flesh color is yellow-orange, and the consistency is buttery.
Sowing is carried out in the second half of April when soil temperature is above 14°C, using a planting scheme of 2x2 m or 3x1 m. The optimal temperature range for development is 22–28°C. The crop is harvested in late November after the leaves begin to dry, and the fruits are characterized by good keeping quality.
