Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is vigorous, open, and energetic. The elongated-oval fruits weigh from 200 to 400 g, have a dark purple color with a glossy sheen, and greenish flesh. When cooked, the fruits absorb less oil and are characterized by uniformity and good transportability.

The hybrid is intended for use in protected cultivation, including film and glass greenhouses or tunnels. It possesses good fruit set and strong resistance to gray mold (Botrytis) on flowers. For long-cycle cultivation in heated greenhouses, grafting is recommended.
