Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with a ripening period of about 56 days from seedling transplanting. The plant has good foliage and lacks spines, which facilitates harvesting and protects the fruits from damage.

The fruits are oval in shape, reaching a length of about 20 cm and a width of 7 cm with a weight of 250 to 400 g. The skin is a deep black-purple color with a glossy sheen and a dense structure.

The variety has the ability to stably set fruit at both low and high temperatures. The hybrid is suitable for the fresh market and is adapted for various cultivation conditions, including tunnel covers.
