The COLLINS bush reaches a height of 1.5–1.8 m and has an upright, slightly spreading, and densely branched shape. The variety is mid-early; harvest begins in mid-July, with a regular yield of 3–4 kg per bush.
The berries have a diameter of 18–20 mm, a firm structure, and are suitable for transportation, long-term storage, and various types of processing. Compact fruit clusters facilitate the harvesting process, and ripe fruits are resistant to dropping and cracking.
The variety has high winter hardiness, resistance to spring frosts, Phytophthora, stem canker, and root rots. It is suitable for mechanical harvesting and can be used in landscape design.
