Variety description

10 August 2026

The period from emergence to technical maturity is 115–120 days. The plant forms vigorous, rapidly developing vines.

The fruits have a rounded shape, a smooth or slightly ribbed surface, and a bright red or orange color. Fruit weight varies from 35–75 to 150 kg; with intensive care and limiting the number of fruits per plant, it can reach 300 kg.

The variety belongs to the Atlantic Giant cultivar group and is a first-generation hybrid (F1). The fruit flesh is often characterized as dry and fibrous, which is why the variety is rarely used in cooking.
