Hybrid Bogatyanovsky

Characteristics of the variety

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

Description

The structure and shape of the Bogatyanovsky grape vine does not differ fundamentally from different varieties and hybrids:

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. The 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 matures;
Main stems (vine) Bogatyanovsky grapes grow from the head of a bush located at the surface of the soil. Seasonal growth of branches (arms) can reach enormous lengths (up to 45 m) if you do not prune and form bushes. The growth of the Bogatyanovsky vine is 2/3 of the entire length of the branch.
On the main branches of the bush during the season many grows shoots: fruitful, sterile (spinning tops) and annual replacement shoots, which are further used for reproduction.
On fertile growths, eyes, from which leaves and inflorescences grow, later forming bunches of grapes. If you leave all the eyes uncircumcised, then the vine can be overloaded with brushes, 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.
Leaves grapes have a common structure for all plants of the family Grape - they are 3 or 5 lobed, with jagged edges, petiolate, green or light and dark shades of green.
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 after 1-2 weeks, after which fruits begin to develop from them, gradually forming in bunches.
Fruit grapes are berries with seeds (or without them) inside and juicy pulp, which is covered with a dense shell. All berries are collected in beautiful loose or dense clusters. Bogatyanovsky grapes are distinguished by a slightly friable bunch shape. The peel of the berries is crunchy, but not tough, does not cause an unpleasant sensation in the mouth, the taste of the berries is sweet and sour, when fully ripe, the sweetness prevails. The grapes of the Bogatyanovsky variety have a peculiarity of the internal structure, which we will discuss in the chapter "Features".

disadvantages

Maybe one of the winegrowers found flaws in Bogatyanovsky grapes, but we did not see such reviews, so we decided that this variety simply does not have them, maybe only one. Many gardeners of central Russia would also like to grow it in their gardens, but, unfortunately, in August and September, when the Bogatyanov hybrid is just beginning to ripen, cold weather begins in this strip. The plant will not have time to complete the growing season, the bunches will remain unripe and sour.

Almaz, 38 years old, Crimea

In our vineyard in the Crimea, this variety is the place. I planted the first vines of Bogatyanovka in 2007, from one seedling I got a lot of cuttings over 3 years. Some were grafted onto rootstocks, others grew on my own roots. Both those and others took root quickly and without problems. The vine yield is always stable, about 1.8 kg in the weight of one brush. On 20 eyes, it will be born from one liana on average up to 40 kg of berries

Now, at my summer cottage, I also decided to grow grapes. The Bogatyanovsky hybrid came to me by accident. A neighbor at the dacha cut her bushes and gave me some cuttings, and in the spring she helped to plant them in the garden. Like her, I really liked the variety. It is easy to look after him, only a spring garter is difficult for me, but there is a man in the house who helps me with this.
