Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an upright bush 1.2–1.5 meters tall, which, due to its growth habit, requires minimal pruning. The ripening period is early; berries ripen approximately one week earlier than the variety «Öjebyn». Yield is characterized as medium or moderate.

The berries are large, sweet, and have a fairly soft skin, which makes them prone to cracking during harvest. The fruits hold well on the cluster, allowing for a single-pass harvest. The variety possesses resistance to powdery mildew and high winter hardiness, making it suitable for cultivation in northern regions.

The variety is for universal use, suitable for fresh consumption and home processing. Scientific studies confirm the specific biochemical profile of the variety, including the content of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, and volatile substances.
