Variety Iryska

Iryska (kishmish Iryska, “Toffee”) is a seedless table variety, a hybrid form bred by V. M. Kalugin. It ripens very early: according to the sources, in about 95–100 days (by other data, 110–120), and the crop ripens at the beginning of August. The cluster is large, cylindrical, of medium density, usually 600–1000 g. The berries are medium-sized, about 5–8 g, egg-shaped, white, seedless; the flesh is juicy and fleshy, the taste harmonious and dessert-like, with high sugar accumulation.

The bush is vigorous, the flower is hermaphroditic, and no pollinators are needed. Yields are high. Frost resistance is down to −23 °C, so in most regions the vine is covered for winter; resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew and gray mold is medium, and preventive treatments are needed.
