The variety is an open-pollinated seedling developed through breeding based on the Earliblue and Bluecrop varieties. The bush reaches 1.2–1.8 m in height and has a spreading habit. It is characterized by large leaves and high shoot density, which requires canopy ventilation control to prevent diseases.
The variety is classified as early: ripening begins from the second ten-day period of July. The berries are light blue in color, slightly flattened in shape, reach 21 mm in diameter, and weigh about 3.5 g. The flesh is firm and crisp, with a sweet taste and slight acidity. When refrigerated, the fruits can be stored for 2–3 weeks.
The plant is thermophilic and partially self-fertile. To obtain a stable yield, cross-pollination with other highbush blueberry varieties is recommended.
The variety is listed in the national registry — its seeds are authorized for sale in this country.
