Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is medium-sized, reaching a height of 1.5–2 meters. The canes are vigorous and thornless. The variety bears fruit on biennial canes, with an early maturity period: harvesting begins in early June and lasts about 40 days.

The berries are round in shape, with an average weight of 5–8 grams. The flesh is firm; flavor characteristics include high sweetness and the absence of bitterness. Frost resistance is estimated at –13 °C, which requires covering in regions with cold climates.

The variety possesses good general disease resistance. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, and processing. The variety is not remontant.
