Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a semi-erect shrub with vigorous, stiff canes 3 to 6 meters long, devoid of thorns, which facilitates harvesting. Leaves are large, dark green. Trellises must be installed for cultivation due to the significant length and weight of the canes.

The fruiting period is extended and lasts from August to September. Berries are black, glossy, oval or broad-conical in shape, weighing 5–8 grams. The taste is sweet with a slight acidity. Yield ranges from 10 to 22 kg per bush.

The variety has good resistance to diseases and pests. Winter hardiness is moderate, therefore canes require removal from trellises and covering for the winter. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, and processing.
