The variety forms an upright bush 1.5 to 1.7 meters high, in some cases up to 2 meters, with a width of about 1.2 meters. The harvest ripening period begins from mid-July. The berries are medium-sized, black in color, have a sweet or sweet-sour taste, and are easily detached from the fruit stem.
The plant has good winter hardiness and low susceptibility to powdery mildew, columnar rust, and leaf spot. The variety is self-fertile and is characterized by regular yields. In addition to fresh consumption, the berries are used for processing, and the bushes themselves are suitable for hedges and group plantings.
