Variety description

10 August 2026

The early-ripening variety forms a vigorous spreading bush up to 150–180 cm in height. The berries are large, round in shape, black in color, with thin skin and a sweet dessert taste. The variety has high productivity, however, when overripe, the berries are prone to shedding.

The winter hardiness of the variety is average; in severe winters, freezing is possible. The plant is susceptible to powdery mildew and anthracnose. The variety is demanding of agrotechnics: it needs sites protected from wind, regular thinning of bushes, and preventive treatments against diseases and pests.
