Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-late, the vegetation period is about 120 days. The plant forms long vines reaching 4–6 meters. The fruits have a characteristic segmented shape and change color from green to a rich orange-brown or bronze upon ripening.

The fruit flesh is bright orange, distinguished by a high sugar content and a musky aroma. The variety is characterized by drought tolerance, high disease resistance, and good transportability. The fruits retain their quality for 3–4 months after harvest.

The crop is heat-loving and requires planting in sunny areas. In regions with a temperate climate, cultivation via seedlings is recommended. The variety is for table use; the fruits are widely used in cooking for preparing soups, purees, and desserts.
