Ripe berries are light, cream-coloured, with amber blush if grown in a sunny location. Ripen in second half of September. The flesh is tasty, rather soft, juicy, seedless.

HOW IT GROWS: Climber; climbs using tendrils. Moderately strong-growing, reaches 3 m height with annual growth rate of 2 m.

WHERE TO PLANT: Best suited for sunny and warm locations. Thrives in permeable, fertile and hummus-rich soil, sandy and clayey with neutral or slightly acidic pH. Moderately disease resistant. Hardy up to -25ºC (zone 6-9). Vulnerable to powdery mildew – requires preventive spraying (2-3 times) during flowering.

HOW TO PLANT AND GROW: Before planting immerse the plant container in water for 10-30 min. Place the plant in a 40 x 40 x 40 cm pit with a 10 cm layer of well-rotten manure or compost soil at the bottom, 5-10 cm deeper than it was planted before. Fill the pit with fertile soil. The plant should be located at least 30 cm away from a wall or other plants. Requires moderate pruning only. To ensure that high quality fruit is set, annual formative pruning is recommended (usually performed in the second half of February).
