Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a hybrid of highbush and lowbush blueberry with a semi-erect bush habit. The plant reaches 1.2–1.5 m in height and 0.9–1.2 m in width, possessing glossy dark green foliage, which turns red and orange shades in autumn.

The plant is remontant: the first crop of berries ripens in late June, the second — in August-September on new shoots. The berries are small to medium in size, dark blue with a bloom, distinguished by a sweet taste, but have a soft texture and a wet picking scar, because of which the variety is not suitable for industrial production.

The variety is characterized by good disease resistance and winter hardiness in USDA zones 4–8.
