Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a bush growth habit and does not form runners. Fruits are round in shape with a diameter of 8–12 cm with green skin. The flesh is firm, creamy, yellow or greenish in color, and possesses a pleasant nutty aroma, reminiscent of avocado.

Young, immature fruits are consumed with the skin. Mature fruits are also suitable for culinary processing and may change color to orange during storage. The variety is high-yielding and is recommended for cultivation at soil temperatures above 20°C.
