Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing Ben Alder and Ben Lomond. The plant forms an upright bush and is characterized by high yield.

The fruits are distinguished by a high dry matter content (Brix above 15) and an increased concentration of vitamin C compared to some varieties of the same breeding program. The variety is intended for commercial use in the processing and juice production industries, as well as for the fresh market.
