Grapes Glory to Ukraine

Grapes Glory to Ukraine is a new hybrid that has managed to attract the attention of breeders and lovers of vine growing. Among its properties, one can single out versatility, the ability to grow both on the rootstock and directly in the soil, with the formation of its own root system. Also found under the erroneous name "Early Palycha" - such a hybrid really existed, but was withdrawn from testing due to the identification of certain shortcomings.

The variety was obtained by the well-known originator from Ukraine, Nikolai Pavlovich Vishnevetskiy, within the framework of private selection. During its breeding, a lot of work was done on interspecific crossing. The exact name of the original forms is unknown.

Grapes Glory to Ukraine is distinguished by strong growth of bushes, fruitful shoots. Produces easily rooted cuttings. The vine ripens in a short time.

Table hybrid, very early. In the south of the Russian Federation and in Ukraine, the harvest is harvested already in the 1st decade of August. Bunches can be left on the bushes without losing their presentation, taste. Typical ripening times range from 100 to 105 days.

The Slava Ukraine hybrid has large conical clusters, each of which reaches a weight of 1000 g. The density of the brush varies from medium to moderate. No tendency to peel. The shape of the brush is elongated, with a wing.

The bunch is formed from white berries of regular oval or ovoid shape, each weighing 10-12 g. Inside contains 2-4 seeds. Juicy fleshy pulp is hidden under the thin skin.

With pronounced nutmeg notes. Glory to Ukraine - a hybrid form with balanced flavoring properties. The taste is harmonious, without dominant sharp accents.

The high-yielding hybrid form allows you to get the result from every vine. There are 2 inflorescences for 1 shoot. Due to the significant weight of the bunch, you have to leave no more than one per vine. Standard collection rates are up to 40 kg per bush.

The hybrid form is usually grown on rootstocks. Placing seedlings directly into the ground is also allowed. In this case, the plant takes longer to gain strength. With dry roots, they are soaked in advance, the excessive growth of the root system is cut off.

Preliminary preparation includes choosing a location - well lit, without strong drafts. A complex of fertilizers is necessarily introduced into the planting pit at the rate of 3 years of cultivation. A mixture of a bucket of compost or humus, the same amount of sand, 300 g of superphosphate and a can of wood ash (preferably grape ash) is laid in fertile soil or black soil.

The substrate is laid at the bottom of the pit, compacted a little, and a 50 mm mixture of soil and sand is poured over it. After that, you can update the root cuts, place the seedling in the prepared place. Sprinkle the roots with the same sand-soil mixture. Then the plant is thoroughly watered with water. When planting in autumn, you can immediately cover the seedling for the winter.

Cross-pollination is not necessary. The variety has bisexual flowers.

Grapes Glory to Ukraine needs standardized pruning. It is recommended to shorten the fruiting vine by 6-8 eyes.

Withstands a drop in atmospheric temperatures down to -24 degrees. When grown outside southern latitudes, shelter is required.

Resistance to the development of diseases is estimated at 3 points. Similar properties against pests are poorly understood.

It tolerates transportation well, without losing its presentation. Can remain on bushes until picking, does not crack.

Since the hybrid form of grapes Slava Ukraine began to spread relatively recently among winegrowers, it is still difficult to talk about its final prospects. Dowsers praise her for her ability to withstand significant loads on the bush, attractive appearance and marketability. It is noted that the hybrid could be a good competitor in the market for most of the early table varieties.

The negative aspects of this new subspecies include poorly studied frost resistance and other properties. In addition, popularization has led to the fact that the hybrid form of Vishnevetsky is massively forged, passing off copies of an unknown origin for it.
