Table Grapes for the middle lane: an overview of the best varieties that I advise all Summer Residents to plant

Table grapes are grown for home consumption. You can also make wine from berries, but the drink cannot compete with similar products from technical varieties.

Despite the fact that the best growing conditions are in the southern regions where there is enough sun and heat, but breeders have developed a sufficient number of varieties that can be successfully grown in medium strip.

Plants are able to develop and bear fruit in conditions of cold and long winters, spring frosts, short summers and early autumn.

The best varieties should yield good yields and be resistant to diseases and low temperatures. It is also very important that the fruits on the plant have time to ripen, and the shoots accumulate the necessary substances before wintering.

Diana

A variety of North American selection. The bunches are large, conical. The fruits have a delicate pinkish blush. The grape tastes like the famous Isabella. Able to survive at a temperature of -30 C0. Can be grown without special shelters.

Full ripening occurs in early or mid September, depending on weather conditions.

The bunches are very dense, the berries are medium and small, have a round shape. High productivity. I use it for winemaking or fresh consumption.

Codryanka

Bred by Moldovan breeders. The variety is unpretentious, has high frost resistance and the bushes do not need to be covered for the winter. It ripens early, the berries have high flavor characteristics.

This variety has time to ripen in the second half of the summer. He does not like droughts very much, needs additional watering. The weight of one bunch with proper agricultural technology can range from 400 to 600 g. The berries are not blue, but dark purple.

The pulp is firm, there are few seeds and they are very easily separated. The peel does not have a pronounced specific taste, which undoubtedly adds to the advantages of this variety.

When ripe early, the brushes hang on the vine for a long time and the berries retain their freshness.

The only disadvantage of Codryanka is the tendency to peas, especially if the weather is unfavorable during flowering.

High rates of disease resistance.

Arcadia, or Nastya

It is considered one of the best varieties, because it takes root well, gives large yields and does not require special care.

Early ripening, berries can be consumed in the second half of August. The bunches are large and dense. Each of them is at least 800 g, but some bunches, with proper care, can reach two and a half kilograms.

The berries are sweet, juicy, with a light nutmeg aroma. The skin is very thin, so the crop often suffers from wasps attack. Additional insect protection required. You can use a mesh.
