Variety description

10 August 2026

Mid-season maturity variety, with the harvest period occurring in the second half of July. The bush is medium-sized, reaching 1.5 meters in height, has a compact shape and strong upright shoots, which facilitates berry harvesting. The variety is self-fertile and does not require mandatory pollinators.

Berries are large, weighing from 3 to 3.2 g, round, collected in long clusters. The flesh is firm and juicy, the taste is sweet with a slight acidity. The fruits are characterized by good transportability and keeping quality. The variety possesses resistance to powdery mildew and rust, as well as good winter hardiness and drought tolerance.

The plant is for universal use, suitable for fresh consumption and all types of technical processing. In intensive gardening, under the weight of an abundant harvest, the shoots may bend to the ground, therefore the use of supports is recommended.
