Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the southern highbush blueberry group (Southern Highbush). The bush has high growth vigor, a semi-erect or spreading habit, and requires approximately 700 or fewer hours of winter chilling. The plant is sensitive to severe spring frosts, which can damage the flowers.

The berries have a round shape, a medium or small size of about 1.5 g, and a diameter of 12–16 mm. The fruits are distinguished by firmness, a sweet taste with moderate acidity, a strong light-blue waxy bloom, and a small dry scar. The variety is intended for commercial cultivation.

The plant is susceptible to a number of fungal diseases, however, under field conditions, a relatively low intensity of damage by pathogens of the genus Neofusicoccum was recorded on leaf buds. Depending on the region, a second harvest is possible in late summer.
