Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a male hybrid, which eliminates seed and berry formation, allowing the plant to direct energy toward spear formation. The variety is characterized by early spear emergence at the beginning of the season and the formation of high-quality produce with tightly closed heads and moderate anthocyanin coloration of the tip. During the active vegetative growth phase, plant height ranges from 125 to 200 cm.

The plant possesses high cold tolerance and the ability to grow on various soil types, including heavy clay and sandy soils. The variety shows resistance to rust. Plantation productivity is maintained for 15–20 years, and the yield is suitable for both fresh consumption and industrial processing.
