The plant is indeterminate, weakly branched, with a female flower type, and predominantly 2-3 female flowers form at each node. Leaves have medium length and dark green color. Cucumbers are short, cylindrical, 10-12 cm long, with a length-to-diameter ratio of 3.1:1, dark green with short stripes, large-warty, and covered with white spines.
