Observation:
The first fruiting of the seedling in 2022. Very very pleased with the result. The form is vigorous, lays 2 inflorescences per shoot. The ripening period is pre-medium.
The bunch is not dense, at the first fruiting it is not large in size, 500-900 g. The berry is a giant! This size has never existed before. Showed a 20-gram berry on a seedling. The potential for development is still very large. In general, seedlings, after planting with their own roots or grafting, increased their condition by 1.4-1.6 times. That is, if a seedling showed a berry of 10-12 g in the breeding plot, then with proper care the berry becomes 14-16 g. It’s even hard to imagine what this “monster” is capable of. The color is yellow, after 40 days in a ripened state (at the end of September - beginning of October), the berry took on a light pink tint, characteristic of a fully ripened Memory Smolnikov. In the south of Ukraine the color will most likely remain yellow, but in the northern and eastern regions it may resemble Transfiguration at the beginning of the color. Let's check...
The flesh is fleshy with a slight crunch. The taste is harmonious. We will study it on different rootstocks. Today it is a seedling with the largest berry of my selection!
2024 год закрепил прежние показатели 37/7. Заплодоносили прививки на разных подвоях. Как и предполагалось, на юге Украины цвет берёт жёлтый, без розового оттенка. Большая сила роста и стабильная урожайность, по 2 соцветия на побег. Ягода невероятно крупная, на прививке типичная масса 20-24 г, а отдельные ягоды свыше 26 г. Мякоть мясисто-хрустящая. Сахара набрал 20 Брикс. Форма транспортабельная и имеет рыночный размер грозди. Прореживания ягод не требует. Мало форм, которые могут выдать подобный калибр (Эверест, Монарх, Сиреневый, Алвика), по этому на рынке форма 37/7 с лёгкостью выигрывала своей товарностью. При реализации свежей ягоды, проверенные формы и сорта (Ливия, Аркадия, Зарница) не могли с ней конкурировать по внешним параметрам.
