Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a vigorously growing branched shrub from 1.5 to 3 meters in height with a dense crown and arched shoots. Thick brown thorns are located at the leaf nodes, which is why the bush is often used to form dense hedges.

The fruits are small or medium in size, round in shape, and turn dark purple or almost black with a bloom upon ripening. The berries have a sweet and sour taste and are suitable for making jams, fillings for baked goods, and preservation.

The crop is characterized by high endurance and resistance to powdery mildew. Due to the powerful rigid stems, the bush does not lodge and maintains a dense shape. Harvesting usually begins from mid-July.
