Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush reaches 1.5–1.8 m in height and about 1.2 m in width, with a compact rounded crown. Berries are large, with an average weight of about 2 g, dark blue in color with an intense waxy bloom. The flesh of the berries is firm and fleshy.

The variety possesses high winter hardiness, frost resistance, and immunity to major fungal diseases, including powdery mildew. Due to the sturdy shoots, the plant does not exhibit lodging, and the dry fruit abscission makes it suitable for mechanized harvesting.

The plant is cross-pollinated and requires the presence of other varieties with a matching flowering period for fruit set. Frequently used as a pollinator for other varieties of the Boreal series.
