Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a low-growing bush plant. Pods are round, straight, and reach a length of 12–13 cm. The flesh of the pods is tender, without a parchment layer; seeds are small, white.

The plant possesses increased tolerance to cool and wet weather. The variety is characterized by slow maturity development, while the pods retain a firm texture and intense green color after freezing or canning.

The variety is suitable for mechanized harvesting. Its main characteristics and resistance to processing make it a preferred choice for use in frozen and canned form.
