Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is everbearing, of autumn ripening period. The plant is distinguished by high growth vigor and the ability for abundant sucker formation on fertile, well-drained soils.

The main distinguishing feature of the variety is significantly larger fruits compared to other autumn varieties of its period. At the same time, the variety demonstrates susceptibility to root rot and fruit rot, which has limited its widespread commercial distribution.
