Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a trailing blackberry type with vigorous thornless canes that require trellising. The fruits are characterized by high firmness, transportability, and a sweet taste with a slight acidity; their average weight is 12–15 g, and the length reaches 5–6 cm.

The variety is floricane, meaning it bears fruit on second-year canes, and belongs to early-mid maturity groups (usually July). Frost resistance is rated as moderate, down to -13...-15°C; in regions with harsher winters, it is necessary to remove canes from the trellis and provide cover.
