JUBILEI

Jubilei grape is a high-yielding table grape variety with a mid-early ripening period, reaching maturity after 110–130 days of vegetation, usually in early to mid-August. This variety was bred by amateur breeder V.N. Kraynov through the crossing of the Talisman and Kishmish Luchistiy varieties. The bushes exhibit strong growth power, the canes ripen well, reaching lengths of up to 4 meters. The flowers are perfect (hermaphroditic), which ensures good pollination and stable fruiting. The clusters are large, conical or winged in shape, of medium density, weighing from 0.8 to 1.5 kg.

Jubilei grape berries have a pale pink or white-pink hue, round or slightly elongated oval shape, weighing 12–18 grams. The pulp is juicy, fleshy, of medium density with a harmonious, sweet taste and good sugar accumulation. The skin is of medium density, edible and does not detract from the taste qualities. Due to the high juice content, the berries are excellent for fresh consumption as well as for winemaking and cooking.

The variety is characterized by high frost resistance — capable of withstanding temperatures down to -23 °C with light covering, and is also resistant to fungal diseases, which facilitates care and reduces the need for treatments. Canes are pruned in two stages: in the autumn, diseased shoots are removed, and in the spring, the bush is shaped, leaving 2 to 8 buds. Even with partial freezing, the bush retains a high ability to suckering and bud awakening, which ensures a stable annual harvest. Jubilei grape is recommended for industrial and amateur cultivation and is popular among winemakers and gardeners.
