Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-maturing, with a vegetation period of 50 to 55 days. The bush-type plant has an open habit, which simplifies the harvesting process. The variety was developed using dry farming methods, which ensured the development of a strong root system and high drought tolerance.

The fruits are cylindrical in shape with a dark green color and smooth skin. Ridges are visible on the fruits, and a characteristic "star" pattern appears at the blossom end. The fruit pulp is characterized by a tender texture and buttery taste.

Dark Star is an open-pollinated variety derived from the Black Beauty variety and is suitable for saving seeds. It is intended for cultivation in home gardens and market vegetable farming.
