Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a trailing shrub with vigorous faceted canes devoid of thorns. The height of the canes reaches 2.5–3 meters, which requires the mandatory use of trellises and tying to prevent the berries from coming into contact with the soil.

The fruiting period occurs from August to mid-September. From 7 to 10 kg of berries are obtained from one bush. The fruits possess good transportability and a sweet or sweet-and-sour taste.

The plant has high resistance to diseases and pests, frost resistance down to -30°C; however, in the central region, winter covering is recommended.
