Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush forms vigorous thornless canes 3–6 meters long, which grow upright when young but later take on a horizontal position. The berries are black with a glossy sheen and an average weight of 7–12 g, with individual specimens reaching 20–28 g. The taste of the berries is sweet with a slight acidity and a distinct aroma.

The variety is early-maturing; fruiting begins in June and lasts 3–5 weeks. The plant has resistance to some fungal diseases, such as rosette (double blossom). Winter hardiness is estimated within the range of -14...-18 °C, which makes winter covering mandatory in cold regions.

For normal development, the variety requires trellis cultivation, sunny exposure, and regular irrigation. The produce is suitable for sale on the fresh market and various types of processing.
