The bush is strong, vigorous, reaching a height of 1.0–1.5 m. Berries are large, weighing over 3 g, round-shaped, with thin skin, possessing a sweet and sour taste and aroma. When overripe, the fruits may shed, therefore harvesting is often carried out in several stages.
Early-ripening variety; berries are suitable for fresh consumption and processing. It possesses frost resistance down to -25°C and resistance to powdery mildew, however, it can be affected by anthracnose and bud mites. It is demanding of moist fertile soils, sensitive to drought and strong winds.
The yield of the variety is average or moderate; it can increase under favorable conditions. Regarding self-fertility, data is contradictory: the variety is characterized as self-fertile or partially self-sterile, with cross-pollination recommended to increase productivity.
