Fruits of this variety have an average weight of 8 to 12 kg, possess an oval shape, and have dark green skin with thin barely noticeable stripes. The watermelon flesh is juicy and bright red, making it especially attractive to consumers who appreciate a sweet and rich flavor.
The variety is characterized by an early maturity period, allowing for harvest in a short time. The vegetative period is about 70-75 days from seedling emergence. The plant has a long moderately branched vine and demonstrates high yield, reaching up to 35 tons per hectare.
