A successful hybrid of these varieties has been pleasing winegrowers in Our Country, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova for more than 10 years with its excellent qualities.

Hybrid Bogatyanovsky

Characteristic of the variety

Grapes Bogatyanovsky refers to table varieties of white grapes of early or medium ripening, the growing season is from 115 to 120 days, already at the end of August and until mid-September, full-bodied bunches with large juicy berries ripen. The hybrid form of Bogatyanovsky grapes is able to develop both from its own roots and on rootstocks of other grape varieties.

Description

The structure and shape of the Bogatyanovsky grape vine has no fundamental differences from different varieties and hybrids:

1. The roots Bogatyanovsky grapes can penetrate deep underground (up to 10 m) in search of moisture, but with a good supply of water, heel roots do not need to grow to such a depth. Dew roots are located very close to the surface of the earth (30-60 cm), that is, immediately after the head of the grape bush, between the dew and heel roots there is a direct underground stem of the plant, which increases in size as the bush grows older;
2. main stems (vine) Bogatyanovsky grapes grow from the head of a bush located near the surface of the soil. The seasonal growth of branches (sleeves) can reach a huge length (up to 45 m), if pruning and the formation of bushes are not carried out. The growth of the vine variety Bogatyanovsky is 2/3 of the entire length of the branch.
3. On the main branches of the bush during the season grows a lot shoots: fruitful, barren (tops) and annual replacement shoots, which are then used for reproduction.
4. On fruitful growths are formed eyes, from which leaves and inflorescences grow, later forming clusters of grapes. If you leave all the eyes uncut, the vine can be overloaded with tassels, and the berries will ripen unevenly and lose their taste. On Bogatyanovsky grapes, it is recommended to leave no more than 20 eyes on one branch, and in regions with a cold climate, even less – no more than 8 eyes. This is done so that all the bunches have time to ripen before the end of the season.
5. Leaves grapes have a common structure for all plants of the Grape family – they are 3 or 5 lobed, with jagged edges, petiolate, green or light and dark shades of green.
6. Flowers – very small, light green in color, collected in inflorescences in the form of a panicle. The flowering of Bogatyanovsky grapes begins in May-June, ends in 1-2 weeks, after which fruits begin to develop from them, gradually forming in bunches.
7. Fruit grapes are berries with or without grains inside and juicy pulp, which is covered with a dense shell. All berries are collected in beautiful loose or dense clusters. Grapes Bogatyanovsky is distinguished by a slightly loose form of clusters. The skin of the berries is crisp, but not hard, does not cause an unpleasant sensation in the mouth, the taste of the berries is sweet and sour, when fully ripe, sweetness prevails. The grape berries of the Bogatyanovsky variety have a peculiarity of the internal structure, which we will discuss in the “Features” chapter.

Disadvantages

Maybe one of the growers found flaws in Bogatyanovsky grapes, but we did not see such reviews, so we decided that this variety simply does not have them, except for one. Many gardeners in central Our Country would also like to grow it in their gardens, but, unfortunately, in August and September, when the Bogatyanovsky hybrid is just beginning to gain ripeness, colds begin in this strip. The plant will not have time to complete the growing season, the clusters will remain unripe and sour.
