Variety Dolhozhdannyi

Dolhozhdannyi (Long-Awaited) is a hybrid form of amateur breeding by V. M. Krainov (Talisman × Kishmish Luchistyi). It ripens early — in the first ten days of August; by other data, about 105 days. The cluster is conical, of medium density, usually 500–1000 g, more under favorable conditions. The berries are large, elongated-nipple-shaped, white with a light greenish tint, 8–12 g, taking on an amber shade when overripe. The flesh is fleshy-juicy, the skin thin, the taste harmonious, sweet with a barely noticeable tartness. Seeds are rare and mostly underdeveloped: one cluster may have berries both with rudiments and with seeds.

The bush is medium or vigorous, the shoots ripen well. Resistance to downy and powdery mildew is medium, about 3–3.5 points. It withstands down to −23 °C; the bushes must be covered for winter.
