Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is medium-sized, about 1.5 m tall, possesses high growth vigor and strong upright shoots, forming a spreading spherical crown. The variety is cross-pollinated and requires the proximity of other honeysuckle varieties with the same flowering period for fruiting.

The berries have an oval or obovate shape, dark blue color with a waxy bloom, and fleshy, juicy pulp. The taste is sweet and sour, with half the acid content compared to most varieties. The berries do not drop after ripening.

The variety has high frost resistance (zone 2a) and excellent resistance to powdery mildew and sunburn. It is suitable for both amateur gardening and industrial cultivation.
