Variety description

10 August 2026

Early-maturing hybrid, the ripening period is 40–45 days from seedling emergence. The plant forms a compact semi-bush with an open habit, which simplifies the harvesting process. The variety is characterized by high adaptability to growing conditions and resistance to diseases.

The fruits have a disc shape with characteristic scalloped edges and glossy golden-yellow skin, which retains its color during ripening. The optimal diameter of the fruits at harvest is 6–8 cm, average weight is about 70–75 g. The flesh is tender, juicy, with small seeds. The produce is suitable for transportation and long-term storage.

The hybrid is intended for fresh consumption, culinary processing, and pickling. Suitable for cultivation both in commercial farms and in private plots.
