TEACHER'S MEMORY

The Teacher's Memory grape represents a table hybrid of amateur selection, created by E.G. Pavlovsky. This variety is distinguished by its very early maturity period — 90 to 135 days depending on growing conditions, which allows for harvesting as early as late July to early August. Bushes possess high growth force, and the cane matures almost completely, contributing to stable and high yields. Bunches are large, cylinder-conical in shape, weighing from 700 to 1500 grams, sometimes with wings, moderately dense and visually attractive.

Berries of this variety are large, oval-elongated, weighing up to 15 grams, with a dense, medium-thickness edible skin. Berry color ranges from rich pink and raspberry to dark red with a purple tint. Flesh is dense, juicy, and crisp, with a harmonious taste and a pronounced muscat aroma, which becomes apparent at full maturity. Sweetness reaches 18-20% Brix, acidity is within the range of 6-8 g/l, ensuring a pleasant taste balance.

The variety is characterized by good frost resistance down to -22…-23°C, however, it requires mandatory winter covering and cannot withstand spring frosts and intense heat. Resistance to fungal diseases such as mildew and gray rot is rated as high, which reduces the need for frequent treatments. The grape tolerates transportation and storage well, is not prone to cracking and rotting. To maintain bush health and productivity, pruning to six to eight buds and removal of suckers is recommended. Saplings root easily, and cuttings root well, making the variety attractive for both amateur and commercial cultivation.
