A long-lived fruit shrub, living up to 35 years, growing up to 1.8 m with a spherical, compact habit. It blooms at the beginning of April, with white-yellow flowers and sweet-sour fruits. Extremely productive, early fruiting and exceptionally frost-resistant, withstanding temperatures down to -45°C! Together with the 'Czarna' variety, it is the least prone to fruit drop. Ideal for cultivation in the Polish climate. Has low soil requirements; however, clay soils and overly light soils should be avoided. The shrub does not tolerate competition from weeds, so proper site preparation is crucial. At peak fruiting, one bush can produce up to 5 kg of fruit.

Use: The fruits can be eaten straight from the bush. They are suitable for preserves, juices, jams, confitures, compotes and liqueurs. They can also be dried or frozen. They contain large amounts of vitamins C and A as well as nutritious and strengthening substances.
Fruiting: Very large, round berries of brown colour, with a flavour similar to blueberry or wild bilberry. Fruits ripen already in May.
Care: A very hardy plant with low requirements. Grows well in slightly acidic sandy-clay soils, as well as in neutral and alkaline soils. Requires sunny or slightly shaded positions. Extremely resistant to drought and frost (down to -45°C). It is recommended to plant at least two different varieties next to each other to ensure proper pollination.
Pruning: No pruning is needed during the first years. After 5–6 years, annual rejuvenation pruning is required, removing the oldest, spreading, excessively dense or damaged shoots.
