The tree is vigorous, reaches a height of 3–6 meters, and has a broadly oval spreading crown of moderate density. Branches depart from the trunk at a significant angle. The variety is precocious, begins bearing fruit in 3–4 years, and produces an annual high yield.
Fruits weigh 60–70 g (up to 100 g), are round-oval in shape, and dark blue with a waxy bloom. The flesh is bright yellow, juicy, sweet with a slight tartness. The variety is partially self-fertile and requires pollinators. It possesses high winter hardiness and good immunity to fungal diseases, but low drought tolerance.
