The plant is a shrub with canes reaching 1.5–2 meters in height. The variety is thornless. The fruits are large, weighing from 6 to 12 grams; the berry shape is round-oblong or conical. During the ripening period, the fruits change color from ruby to black with a glossy sheen.
The ripening period is early; fruiting begins in June or the first half of July. Yield is from 3 to 5 kg per bush. The berry taste is sweet, dessert-like, with a characteristic aroma. The produce has good transportability. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to diseases and pests, but requires the use of supports and mandatory winter covering by bending the canes to the ground.
