Variety Bohatyr

Bohatyr is a hybrid form of amateur breeding by V. M. Kalugin. It ripens in 105–125 days (depending on region and year), in August. The cluster is cylindrical, of medium density, usually 700–1400 g. The berries are very large — 20–30 g, oval, about 30×48 mm, dark blue, almost black, with a dense waxy bloom. The flesh is firm, crisp and sweet, with a harmonious taste.

The bush is vigorous and productive, so the crop load per bush must be regulated. The flower is hermaphroditic, the berries do not crack, and the clusters are transportable. The variety is resistant to fungal diseases. It withstands frost down to −22 °C, so the vine should be covered for winter.
