aka Sibirskye Ogny. Bred for colder climates, specifically designed to thrive in regions with short summers like Siberia.

This variety is notable for its early ripening—about 70 days from planting to harvest—and its resistance to diseases like fusarium. It can even be grown in greenhouses or in open ground with proper care. The fruit have paler green stripes and good sweet flavour. Do not hold well- when they are ripe, they are ripe!
