Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is medium-sized, 1.0–1.2 meters in height, with a spherical crown shape. The shoots are sparsely thorny, and in the upper part they are practically devoid of thorns, which simplifies harvesting. The variety is an early-ripening type; fruiting begins in the second year after planting.

The berries are large, weighing from 6 to 14 grams, spherical or slightly elongated in shape. The color of mature fruits varies from greenish-pink to bright red with a lilac or amber hue. The skin is smooth, without pubescence, and of medium density.

The variety has a high yield of up to 10 kg per bush. The berries have a dry abscission, are well-transported, do not shatter when ripe, and are resistant to cracking in wet weather. The variety has winter hardiness down to -34 °C.
