The bush reaches a height of about 2.5 meters, features a powerful and widely spreading appearance, which promotes abundant fruiting. The berries of this variety are black, juicy, of medium size, weighing up to 2 grams, with a dense structure and an extraordinary taste, making them attractive for both fresh consumption and commercial use due to their high commercial qualities.
