The variety was obtained as a result of hybridization of the varieties Ben Lomond and the C2/1/62 form. The plant has moderate vigor and a semi-erect habit, with shoots of medium length. Crop ripening usually occurs in the first half of July.
Berries weighing from 1.0 to 1.4 g are formed on clusters of medium length. The fruits are characterized by moderate acidity and content of vitamin C, anthocyanins and extract, and are suitable for freezing and processing into juices and concentrates.
The variety demonstrates high field resistance to American powdery mildew and stem rust, medium resistance to anthracnose and white rust, as well as medium susceptibility to the bud mite.
