Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the remontant (primocane-fruiting) category, capable of fruiting on current-year shoots. Plants have an upright bush habit and vigorous growth, requiring only minimal trellis support.

The variety possesses resistance to root rot and leafhopper infestation. It is classified as late-maturing, which may shorten the fruiting period in cold climate conditions.

The berries are large, dark red in color, have moderate firmness, good cohesion, and a pronounced sweet flavor. The produce maintains integrity longer during storage compared to analogs; the variety is suitable for cultivation in high tunnels and home gardening.
