Currant VYMEPEL

Black currant variety VYMEPEL is a high-yielding mid-season variety bred at the Sverdlovsk Research Station of Horticulture. This variety was created by crossing hybrids Leningrad Giant and Minaй Shmyrev with the variety Valovaya. VYMEPEL bushes are semi-spreading, with thick, straight, non-pubescent shoots of grayish hue, as well as large green leaves. The plant differs in a vigorous growth type and high winter hardiness, as well as resistance to powdery mildew and bud mite, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. However, the variety may be susceptible to damage from bud moth.

VYMEPEL berries have a round shape, black color, and relatively uniform size; the average fruit mass is about 1.3 g, maximum - up to 4 g. The skin and pulp of the berries are very tender, which gives them a dessert taste with a refreshing aroma. The fruits contain about 9.1% sugars, 2.0% acids, and a high amount of vitamin C - 260 mg per 100 g, which ensures high nutritional value and useful properties. The sugar-acid index is approximately 4.6, which indicates a harmonious taste balance.

The VYMEPEL variety is recommended for both amateur gardening and industrial cultivation for the purpose of obtaining fresh berries and processing. The variety yield is high - up to 180 centners per hectare, which makes it attractive for commercial use. Thanks to its taste qualities, resistance to adverse factors, and universal purpose, VYMEPEL is an excellent choice for those who value high-quality and useful black currant berries.
