10 August 2026
The bush is vigorous, spreading, 120 to 180 cm in height. Berries are very large, with delicate skin, easily detached from the stalk, but prone to shedding when overripe. The fruit has a universal use: fresh consumption and all types of processing.
The variety is demanding of growing conditions, soil, and care, and requires sites protected from the wind. It is resistant to powdery mildew, but susceptible to anthracnose. Frost hardiness is lower than that of some other varieties.
