10 August 2026
The plant is characterized by vigorous shoot growth, which is why the bush requires side support or a trellis. The leaves are large. Under favorable conditions and in the absence of damage from spring frosts, each cluster forms 10 to 12 large berries with a sweet taste and the characteristic aroma of blackcurrant.
The variety requires intensive agrotechnology, including regular fertilization, proper pruning, and maintaining stable soil moisture. The plant protection system requires standard measures, as well as the control of powdery mildew.
