Detailed descriptions give complete information about a particular variety. This information helps not only to make the right choice, but also to avoid mistakes when growing a plant in the future.
Main Features
The table hybrid we are considering is named after its creator - the breeder -amateur Viktor Nikolaevich Krainov. It was obtained by crossing varieties Talisman and Kishmish radiant. The result of this work was appreciated. After the test, he added to the list of the top ten grape varieties. Many gardeners who grow this amazing crop have Victor grapes in their collection.
Description of the variety can begin with an indication of the timing of fruit ripening. The harvest will ripen in a hundred or a hundred and five days. At the same time, a friendly ripening of the entire bunch is observed.
The vine of this hybrid is characterized by strong branched shoots. They ripen perfectly, and after formation, the branches grow rapidly. In addition to such quality as early ripeness, resistance to severe frosts is also important for this variety. Grapes "Victor" can withstand temperatures down to twenty-four degrees Celsius. Gardeners who have replenished their collections with this plant confirm the good frost-resistant properties of the bushes. In some areas, this crop does not even require shelter.
In addition to early ripening and resistance to low temperatures is resistance to various diseases.
Grapes "Victor": variety description
A powerful vine after bud break is covered with bisexual flowers. This property contributes to their rapid pollination. In the first days of June, a friendly flowering is observed. After pollination, a bunch of grapes begins to form. The berries are large, oval, slightly pointed, pink orpurple color. Some of them reach a weight of fifteen grams. Delicate pulp has a pleasant slightly acidic taste. A powerful weighty bunch weighing from six hundred grams to one kilogram will delight its owners with the "Victor" grape variety.
A photo of a ripening crop makes one admire this plant. It can also be said that due to the dense skin (which in no way affects the taste of the variety), the berries have reliable protection against insect pests, which are wasps.
Grapes "Victor-2"
As a rule, breeders do not stop at the achieved result. The next author's work by V. N. Krainov is a variety very similar to Victor grapes. Their description is the same. However, there are also differences. The new species, which is considered the brother of the specimen discussed above, is called "sympathy". What is the difference? Grapes "victor-2", or "sympathy", has a later ripening period. Harvest begins in one hundred twenty-five or one hundred and thirty days. The harvest will pleasantly surprise the owners of this miracle with heavy bunches of delicious berries. The weight of individual hron reaches one and a half kilograms. Berries "sympathy" are larger: usually each of them weighs from twelve to eighteen grams. But this is not all the advantages of this variety. Having a decent weight, Victor-2 grapes are characterized by excellent transportable properties. Otherwise, these two varieties are like brothers.
