Chokeberry

Mid-late ripening cultivar with moderate productivity. Fruit size is medium-large.

Selected in Slovakia, almost undistinguishable from the ‘Rubina’ cultivar.

Mid-late ripening, self-compatible cultivar with moderate productivity and a compact shrub appearance. The height of the shrub can reach 1.5-2 meters. The berry is medium-large in size, with a bloomy wax, midnight blue colour and a tart flavour.

Prefers acidic soils, but it grows well on slighty calcareous soils also. There are no significant pests and pathogen, requires no crop spraying.

The yield per hectare reaches 7-7.5 tons. Tolerates mechanical harvesting.

Can be used in making jams, syrups and as natural dye for diary products (The high levels of phenolic phytochemical compounds, mainly anthocyanins, cause the deep burgundy colour of the fruit. The total anthocyanin concentration reaches 1500 mg per 100 g fresh fruit. This is the highest among all fruits.).
