Grapes Original: description of the variety. Features of growing grapes Original

Green, red and black grapes have long been considered rare and successfully grown by professionals and amateurs. Pink varieties, which include the original grapes, are not widely distributed, but recently they are in high demand. What is this variety? What are its differences and main features? This we will try to tell in the article.

Origin and description of the variety

Pink Table Grapes The original, a photo of which is presented below, was bred by Ukrainian breeders by crossing two parental forms: the Damascus Rose and the Datieu de Saint-Valle. From them, the variety inherited a large size of ovoid or nipple-shaped berries, the mass of which reaches 5-7 g. Bunches of grapes The original forms large. Under good growth conditions, they can reach one and a half kilograms, but in most cases their weight is 500-700 g.

The appearance of the berries is very beautiful: a white or slightly pinkish peel is covered with a weak sunburn from the sunny side. The flesh of the fruit is translucent, very sweet, contains about 20% of sugar and a small amount of acids - no more than 5 g / l. Used grape Original for fresh consumption. Also from it are obtained excellent for the taste qualities of billets (compotes, jelly and wine).

The bush is very tall, the ripening of shoots even in unfavorable climatic conditions is good. On each shoot, up to 1.7 grapes can be formed and successfully mature. The period from the beginning of bud blossoming to the collection of the first fruits is about 140-150 days.

Grapes Features Original

Unlike most varieties, the original grapes , the description of which was given earlier, perfectly tolerates winter cold to 22 degrees and the next year yields a good harvest. That is why this variety has become widespread not only in the southern regions of Ukraine, but also in most regions of Russia. It is recommended that you cover it. Among the main advantages of the variety are indicated and its high resistance to fungal diseases.

Lovers prefer to grow a grape variety Original because it has a bisexual flower. This means that for successful fruiting there is no need to grow other varieties of grapes near it. In addition, high yield allows to grow only one plant on the site to provide a small family with fresh berries and billets from them.

Despite the listed advantages, the grapes The original has several disadvantages. For example, the clusters of this variety are very poorly tolerated by transportation. Berries are easily separated from the pedicels, so even with a brief shaking, the bunches remain almost completely bared.

Subtlety of cultivation

You can plant grapes both in spring and in autumn. Grapes do not like draft, but it does not tolerate air stagnation. The place of growth of the vine should be in the sun for a long time, so it is better to plant grapes on the south or south-west side of the site.

In order to obtain the optimum amount of harvest from one plant, the grapes must be formed in the same way as other varieties, leaving up to 40 eyes in one bush. During the growth of the vine and the formation of fruit formations, it is necessary to carefully follow the stepsons and remove them completely. They take a significant amount of nutrients from the above sprouts, causing a bunch of bunches.

Chopping fruits and unfavorable weather conditions during flowering. To avoid this, experienced wine growers conduct timely processing of the vine with preparations that enhance the natural immunity of the plant. During the ripening of grapes, it is possible to tear off most of the leaves on the vine. This will allow the grapes to quickly and evenly ripen and acquire a characteristic pink tan. Formation of the bush is also given special attention, because the yield of the plant depends on this. Remove up to 12 eyes on each shoot.

Methods of reproduction

Like other varieties, grapes The original can be propagated by cuttings and grafting. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. For example, young seedlings better take root in milder climates. If the average annual temperatures are low, it often happens prolonged rains and late frosts, it is best to practice the inoculation of the cuttings of this variety on the stock of the grapes adapted to such conditions. Fans of growing a vine "from scratch" will like reproduction with seeds. In this case, the plant will be absolutely healthy, but the harvest will have to wait 5 years longer than when planting cuttings or grafting.
