Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is characterized by a compact habit with short internodes and possesses medium to high vigor. Due to the absence of trichomes, maintenance of the bushes becomes more convenient, and conditions for beneficial entomophagous insects are more favorable.

The fruits have an oval shape, dark purple color with a pronounced gloss, and an intensely green calyx. The average fruit weight is about 350 g with a length of approximately 16 cm. The variety is characterized by high marketability, an absence of stripes on the skin, and good storage capability.

The hybrid is intended for cultivation in protected ground and is characterized by productivity with a distributed type of fruiting, which helps to avoid overloading the bush. It is recommended for medium and late planting dates.
