Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an extra-early hybrid with a vegetation period of 85 days. The plant forms short vines, has a semi-bush growth habit, and is characterized by high productivity, yielding an average of 2–3 fruits per bush.

The fruits are round or slightly flattened in shape with pronounced ribbing; the skin is dark orange. The weight of a single fruit varies from 5.5 to 7.3 kg. A distinctive feature is a strong, large dark green peduncle.

The plant possesses relative resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew due to its rapid maturation. The variety is intended primarily for decorative purposes and for use as a carving pumpkin for the Halloween holiday.
