Features of Ozone grapes

An early maturing hybrid that matures very early, is the result of crossing the same varieties that Ali Baba developed. However, through the efforts of Pavlovsky, Ozone is strikingly different from its relative.

Description of branches, brushes and berries

Grapes Ozone refers to tall varieties. Dark green leaf plates are strongly dissected. Large berries (10–12 g), round or nipple-shaped, form not very dense cone-shaped clusters, the maximum weight of which is 1,5 kg. At the peak of ripening, they turn yellow, with elastic flesh and a pleasant nutmeg aroma.

Varietal characteristics

Grape is a hybrid of Talisman and K-81. Belongs to varieties with a bisexual flower, which ripen in 105-115 days (early term). The advantage of Ozone is the good marketability of the bunches, as well as the density of the berry, which does not crack in the cold.

After ripening, the crop retains its qualities for a long time, remaining unharvested. The variety has increased resistance to fungal infections and increased frost resistance (up to -23 ° C). Grapes are unattractive to wasps.

Yield indicators

Ozone is a high-yielding variety. The bunches are ready to be harvested as early as August 1st. Rationing of ovaries is a prerequisite for growing this grape. Without yield control, the fruits become noticeably smaller, their taste qualities noticeably deteriorate. To have a lot of berries, flowers of both sexes must be present. You also need to carefully monitor the full maturation of the vine.

Advantages and disadvantages

• high tasting score;
• clusters retain their presentation for a long time, remaining on the bushes;
• berries are not susceptible to wasps or damage to the peel;

Disadvantages of grapes:

• the bush must be normalized, which affects the size of the clusters;
• since Ozone has been developed recently, properties not previously recorded by breeders may appear.

Breeder’s recommendations for care

The varieties bred by Evgeny Pavlovsky are relatively young, and therefore it is not recommended to buy seedlings from hand – it is better to purchase them in a specialized nursery. Planting can be done in spring or autumn. In order for the seedlings to endure the winter well, they need to be protected from cold winds. There are no specific soil requirements. It is better not to plant new grapes in place of a bush that has just been dug up.

Before planting, it is important to let the ground rest for a few years.

A seedling that will take root well and give a bountiful harvest in the future must meet the following conditions:

• the minimum number of kidneys is 3 pcs.;
• young grapes must have a branched root system;
• the cut of the shoot should be green, and a whitish tint should be present on the roots.

Before planting, the cuttings must be soaked for a day in a special solution.

Winegrowers who grow Pavlovsky varieties give high marks to frost-resistant hybrids. And not in vain! After all, grapes have exceptional varietal qualities.
