Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms vigorous semi-trailing canes up to 3 meters long, which require mandatory trellising due to the heavy crop load. The canes are characterized by flexibility, which facilitates maintenance and winter covering. The plant is characterized by high resistance to a number of diseases, in particular to cane blight, and the ability to withstand frosts down to -26…-30 °C.

Fruiting of the variety is late-ripening and extended over 4–6 weeks, starting in the second ten-day period of August. The berries are blue-black in color, oval in shape, uniform, and reach a weight of 5–8 g. The taste of the berries is sweet with a slight tartness; the fruits have high density, which ensures their good transportability.
