The Binar variety bush is vigorous, reaching 1.5–2 meters in height. Shoots are thick, straight or slightly curved, brown with pubescence; young shoots have a green or pinkish-crimson hue. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness and resistance to powdery mildew and big bud mite, with moderate resistance to anthracnose and leaf spot.
Berries are large, weighing from 1.2 to 2 g, round in shape, black with a glossy sheen. The taste is sweet and sour, distinctly aromatic. The variety is of universal use, suitable for fresh consumption and processing. Yield is 2–3.6 kg per bush, with fruiting beginning in the second year after planting.
