Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a compact, open-type bush. The fruits have a spherical shape, and their smooth skin is colored dark green with speckles. The fruit flesh is tender; when reaching a size of 7–10 cm, the seeds inside are virtually absent.

The variety is early-maturing, with a vegetation period of 35–40 days. The hybrid is characterized by high productivity and a long fruiting period. Due to their round shape, the fruits are suitable for stuffing, baking, grilling, and use in salads.
