Variety description

10 August 2026

The berries of this variety are distinguished by good color, tender skin, and pleasant taste. Unlike many other varieties of that period, it stood out among others as being less acidic.

The plant is sensitive to sulfur. When using lime-sulfur preparations to control pests or diseases, it is recommended to exercise caution and not exceed a concentration of 2% to prevent damage to the bushes.

The variety has historical significance and is mentioned in scientific publications of the second half of the XX century as genetic material for breeding work in the study of polyploid forms.
