Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a bush type, compact, reaching a height of 30–50 cm and is resistant to lodging. The variety is ultra-early: technical maturity of the pods occurs 45–55 days after emergence, and seeds ripen in 70–75 days.

The pods are of the snap type, fleshy, round-oval in shape, 15 to 25 cm in length. At technical maturity, they lack a parchment layer and fibers. The color of the pods is green, sometimes with purple streaks.

The variety possesses high resistance to bean common mosaic virus and powdery mildew, and is capable of tolerating moderate heat. It is intended for universal use: fresh consumption, freezing, and canning.
