Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the butternut type, with a maturation period ranging from 85 to 100 days. The vining plant possesses high growth vigor and adaptability to various weather conditions, allowing it to withstand stress and reduce susceptibility to a number of diseases, including intermediate resistance to powdery mildew.

The fruits have a cylindrical club-like shape, beige skin, and dense, juicy flesh of an intense orange color. The fruit weight averages 1.0–1.5 kg, reaching up to 2.0 kg. The variety is distinguished by good fruit set, high sugar content, and a firm skin that ensures long keeping quality.

The variety is versatile in use, suitable for fresh market sales and industrial processing due to the small size of the seed cavity and ease of peeling. The recommended planting density ranges from 7 to 12 thousand seeds per hectare depending on the cultivation goals.
