Variety description

10 August 2026

Plants of the Symphony variety are vigorous, reaching a height of about 0.3 m and producing a large number of runners. The variety is classified as mid-late or late, ripening 5–7 days later than the popular Elsanta variety. The crop is suitable for cultivation both in open fields and in protected structures, such as tunnels.

Fruits have an attractive conical shape, a glossy surface, and a bright red color. Due to high flesh firmness, the berries have good keeping quality and transportability, which allows for their use in commercial horticulture. The taste is characterized as balanced, combining sweetness and acidity. The variety shows high resistance to wet growing conditions and powdery mildew.
