Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, reaching a height of 4–6 meters, with a semi-spreading crown. The variety is self-fertile and does not require the presence of pollinators, although cross-pollination contributes to increased yield.

Fruits are very large, up to 30 mm in diameter and weighing 9–14 g. The berries are round in shape; the skin turns dark red, almost black, when fully ripe. The flesh is firm, juicy, and has a sweet dessert taste.

The variety belongs to the late-ripening category. It is characterized by high yield, winter hardiness (USDA zone 5), and high resistance to diseases.
