Best known for its extremely uniform fruit, this hybrid grows vigorously and delivers a high yield from its many lateral vines. The mild tasting, deep green fruit are near perfect—straight with fine white spines on their glossy skin. They grow to about 9" long and more than 1" in diameter. Highly resistant to downy mildew and powdery mildew, it has an intermediate resistance to corynespora blight and target spot. This variety is suitable for open field growing and has a monoecious flowering habit (plant produces both male and female flowers.)
