The bush is vigorous, reaching 2.5–3.5 m in height. Shoots are semi-erect, thornless, with short internodes and active branching. The plant requires trellising due to the heavy weight of the shoots and crop.
Berries have an oval-elongated or elongated-cylindrical shape and a deep black glossy color. The flesh is firm and juicy, the taste is sweet with a slight acidity. The fruits have good transportability and, when fully ripe, separate with a dry detachment.
The variety is mid-season; harvesting lasts from late July to September. Yield in industrial conditions exceeds 20 t/ha, with 8 to 15 kg collected per bush. The variety requires preventative protection measures against common fungal diseases.
