The bush of the variety is characterized by an upright or semi-spreading habit, which ensures the possibility of using harvesters for berry picking. The index of simultaneity of fruit ripening is about 92.6%. The force of berry detachment from the raceme is within the range permissible for mechanized harvesting.
The bulk of data on the variety in scientific literature focuses on its processability and suitability for mechanization. Parameters of resistance to pests and diseases, as well as data on plant height, are not detailed in open-access popular science publications.
