Variety description
10 August 2026
The variety was obtained by crossing "Centurion" and "Rahi" varieties. The bush has a semi-upright form and is characterized by medium vigor. Requires cross-pollination to achieve good yields.
The fruits are large, with an average weight of about 2.4 g, round or oblong in shape, light blue in color with a waxy bloom. The berries are characterized by high firmness, a small dry scar, and a high content of anthocyanins.
The variety is very late. The chilling requirement is 600–750 hours. The variety is not intended for regions with severe winters and requires protection from late spring frosts during flowering.
