Variety Veles

Veles is a seedless variety of private breeding by V. V. Zahorulko (Ukraine; Sofiia × Rusbol). It ripens very early, in 100–105 days: at the beginning of August. The cluster is very large, branched, elongated, loose, on a long stalk, over 1 kg on average, some up to 3–4 kg. The berries are egg-shaped, bright pink, 4.5–6 g, with a thin skin and fleshy juicy pulp; the taste is pleasant, with a light Muscat, and sugar accumulates well. Seedlessness is of class IV.

The bush is above medium vigor, the flower is hermaphroditic; with crop overload it weakens. The variety is prone to overloading, the inflorescences are regulated, often twice; before flowering it is recommended to remove the lower part of the cluster. It responds well to short pruning, and the lower buds are fruitful. Resistance to fungal diseases is weak, and the berries may crack. The vine is covered for winter.
