This hybrid is cold-resistant and does not have the thorns typical of raspberries. The berries have an interesting taste.

As for the strawberry, it was bred by Russian breeders in the 70s of the 20th century.

Externally, the berry looks like a regular strawberry, but the bushes become more spreading, tall and get thicker foliage. During the flowering period, the crop is able to compete with a flower bed.
