Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is vigorous, upright, reaching a height of 1.3 to 1.8, and sometimes up to 2.0 meters. The shoots are resilient; however, under the weight of the crop, the bush can branch out and may require pruning. The variety possesses high frost resistance down to -34 °C, and late flowering reduces the risk of flower damage from spring frosts.

The variety is early-maturing, with the ripening period occurring from the second half of July to the beginning of August. Berries weighing 1.7–2.5 g have a round, slightly flattened shape, a light blue color with a bloom, firm juicy flesh with a characteristic crunch, and a sweet-and-sour taste with slight tartness.

The plant has good disease resistance, including low susceptibility to anthracnose. The variety is self-fertile, but cross-pollination is recommended to increase yield and berry quality. The berries are suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, processing, and commercial cultivation.
