The variety forms moderately spreading bushes, the height of which varies from 90 to 170 cm. One of the morphological features is the specific leaf shape, which distinguishes the variety from other representatives of the crop.
The berries have a dessert taste and aroma; during harvesting, dry detachment is ensured, which increases their marketability. The plant possesses resistance to arid conditions and is suitable both for fresh consumption and for various types of industrial processing.
