Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as a bunching type. Unlike semi-savoy spinach varieties, plants of this type possess more elastic stems.

The variety is intended for the production of bunching products. In professional breeding materials, it is considered a specific market type; however, detailed characteristics of maturity, height, or disease resistance are not provided in open sources.
