Fruit is cylindrical, 19-21 cm long, 4.0-4.5 cm in diameter, weighing 200-220 g. Fruit base has a slight taper, and a small stem may form at the beginning of fruiting. Fruit color is dark green with characteristic light green stripes extending to 1/3 of the fruit size, glossy skin. Fruit surface is bumpy with large, distinct bumps spaced sparsely. Spines are white. Hybrid is tolerant to WM-1, root rot, and ascochytosis. Distinctive feature of the hybrid — high product marketability.
