Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an early-maturing highbush blueberry obtained through selection of seedlings from a cross between the variety Reka and the unreleased selection B7.8.1. The bush has an upright habit, good vigor, and compact size, which simplifies plant maintenance.

The berries are characterized by medium to large size, a pronounced bloom, and a balanced sugar-acid flavor. The fruits are distinguished by high firmness and long shelf life, making them suitable for the fresh market.
