The bush is vigorous, has an upright vertical form. The variety is self-fertile and produces a good yield even in pure planting, however, cross-pollination contributes to an increase in yield and berry size. The plant is characterized by resistance to fungal diseases.
Berries are of medium size with a weight of about 0.92 g, regular spherical shape, black color, without pronounced gloss. The fruits are located on long racemes about 62 mm, placed on them loosely and evenly. The variety is of universal purpose, suitable for fresh consumption and processing.
The plant prefers moist humus soils and tolerates moderately shaded places well, develops poorly on dry sandy and saline soils. The ripening period occurs from mid-June to early July.
