Observation:
A new unique seedling with the combination Dozen x Ratatouille will open a completely new page in breeding. Work number 104/5. It has great growth vigor and high productivity. The vine ripens early and to its full length. The internodes are wider than Ratatouille and have much better yielding ability. There is no feature of bifurcation of the central growth point.
The seedling matured in 2024 a little earlier than Arcadia. I was surprised by a very large berry (the largest of the whole combination). The weight of the berry is 15-16 g. The berry mainly has 2 seeds. The very rich, intense taste is largely taken from Ratatouille: caramel flavor + fruity tones, where pineapple stands out most clearly. The skin is tender and melting, inherited from the Dozen.
The color is solid yellow. No cracking after rains was detected.
The seedling was named in honor of the famous winegrower and breeder, a bright and kind man - Mikhail Alekseevich Grechko.
We are making further observations.
