The variety belongs to the very early group; fruits reach maturity in early July. The bush is characterized by a very vigorous, broad growth habit. The variety is winter-hardy and reliable.
A key feature is the long strigs with numerous large black berries. The fruit flesh is dark-colored, with a sour and highly aromatic taste. Upon reaching full maturity, the berries become very soft and are prone to shedding.
The yield of the variety ranges from medium to high depending on weather conditions. The berries are suitable for making jams, juices, and desserts.
