Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a bushy and compact form at a young age, transitioning into a slender vertical habit. Main shoots develop rapidly, adding up to 70–80 cm per year.

Small evergreen leaves are light green upon emerging, later acquiring a saturated dark green color. The variety is capable of active branching after pruning, making it suitable for creating topiary and hedges.
