Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is vigorous, reaching 150–200 cm in height, with an upright habit and strong shoots. An open, sparse canopy simplifies harvesting and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

Berries are large, dark blue with a waxy bloom, distinguished by a sweet taste and firm flesh with a dry scar, which ensures good transportability. Ripening occurs in the period from July to August.

The variety possesses high resistance to frost down to -30...-35 °C and is more tolerant to heavy soils compared to other highbush blueberry varieties. It is partially self-fertile; cross-pollination is recommended to increase yield.
