Description of the culture

The plant's seedlings produce a bountiful harvest of juicy and delicious fruit, thrive in new soil, and adapt to climate change. The berries are hypoallergenic and free of toxins and other harmful components.

To ensure proper development, it requires periodic pruning. Ripe berries range in color from white and light yellow to a rich amber hue.
