The variety belongs to the very early maturity group. The plant possesses high tolerance to big bud mite infestation; also, the absence of pronounced symptoms of anthracnose and rust diseases is noted.
The fruits of this variety serve as an object of scientific research aimed at studying the content of polyphenols and anthocyanins in the berries. The variety was created by the breeding program of the James Hutton Institute (formerly SCRI) for the conditions of the northern part of Great Britain.
The right is granted for a limited term: propagation of the variety requires a license from the rights holder.
