Early-maturing variety, flowering occurs early. The fruits are medium-sized, blue-black with glossy skin, and possess juicy pulp and a pleasant taste. The berries have a dry abscission, do not shatter, and are suitable for transportation.
The plant possesses winter hardiness, drought tolerance, and resistance to a complex of foliage diseases. The berries have universal use, suitable for fresh consumption as well as for all types of industrial processing.
