Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the Loch series, characterized by vigorous semi-trailing canes reaching 2.5–3 meters in height. The canes are thornless and require mandatory tying to a trellis for bush formation and ease of harvesting.

The plant is ornamental due to its double pink or lilac-pink flowers. The fruits have a round or round-oval shape, black color, glossy sheen, and a weight of about 5–10 g. The berries have a dessert taste and medium flesh density.

The variety is of mid-early or mid-season maturity. The plant possesses above-average winter hardiness, but requires covering in conditions of snowless winters. The variety shows relative immunity to a number of fungal diseases, but can be affected by grey mold under high humidity.
