The plant forms vigorous shoots 2 to 4 meters long, requiring mandatory tying to a trellis due to its trailing growth habit. It is a summer-ripening variety with extended fruiting in July – August. Winter hardiness is moderate; it withstands frosts down to –20…–25 °C, but requires covering at lower temperatures.
The berries reach a length of up to 4–5 cm and a mass of 5–15 g, possessing a dense structure and good transportability. The flavor is dessert-like, with moderate acidity and a characteristic aroma. The variety is versatile in use, but due to the need for manual harvesting, it is primarily grown in amateur gardening.
