The plant is climbing, of medium growth, with small leaves, forming 3 to 5 fruits depending on growing conditions. The vegetation period is 90-100 days from germination, allowing early harvest. The hybrid is resistant to tobacco mosaic virus, which increases its reliability and reduces the risk of losses during cultivation.
