The variety is a sterile hybrid that propagates vegetatively. The plant reaches a height of up to 3.5–4 meters and possesses lignified stems resistant to lodging. Industrial harvesting is possible from the second year after planting.

The plant is adapted to various soil types and demonstrates increased drought tolerance. Compared to standard samples of the species, the variety possesses a higher calorific value and lower ash content, which increases the efficiency of its use for energy purposes.

The variety is intended for establishing plantations with a long-term production cycle exceeding 20 years and is suitable for use as a renewable raw material in the production of materials, insulation, packaging, and as animal bedding.
