Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is vigorous, forming robust canes 2.5–4 meters in length. Leaves are dark green, ternate; flowers are large, pinkish-white in hue. The variety requires trellising due to the flexibility and significant length of the canes.

Berries are blue-black in color, oval or conical in shape, with an average weight of 5–8 g. The variety belongs to the mid-late maturity group with an extended fruiting period. The fruits are firm, distinguished by good transportability and a sweet taste with a slight acidity.

The variety demonstrates high resistance to anthracnose, rust, and cane blight. It possesses winter hardiness down to -25...-30 °С, however, in the central region, it requires winter cover. Yield is 10–15 kg per bush; under favorable conditions, the figure can be higher.
