Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has a genetic connection to the variety Cambridge Favourite, which is confirmed by chloroplast DNA studies. In terms of ripening time, it belongs to the mid-season group and was traditionally used for cultivation in mid-late periods.

The fruits of the variety have a pronounced aroma, high juiciness, and significant size. The plant shows an increased reaction to shortening daylight and decreasing temperatures, and is also susceptible to black spot.
