The plant is robust, long-vined, with a creeping and indeterminate growth type, ensuring high productivity. Fruits are large, cylindrical in shape, up to one meter long and weighing up to 35 kg, with dark green skin with a waxy bloom and orange flesh with bright veins. The seed chamber in the fruits is very small and located at the top, making the flesh almost solid and dense.

This pumpkin variety is distinguished by excellent taste and high storage capacity, allowing the harvest to be stored for a long time. Thanks to the dense and crunchy flesh, pumpkin is ideal for preparing various dishes, such as porridge, puree, baking, as well as for juice production. In addition, it withstands deep freezing well, which expands the possibilities of its use in cooking and storage.
