Not all grapes inside the berries contain seeds, there are also "seedless" species. This berry is much more convenient and pleasant to eat, because there is no need to remove hard seeds.

Types and advantages of seedless varieties

Two varieties of seedless grapes are grown in horticulture - Kishmish and Korinka Russkaya. The first species is fertilized in the usual way, seeds are laid in its fruits, but their development stops even in the early stages. The fruits of the second grade are tied without pollination, so the seeds are not formed.

Seedless grapes are a favorite among gardeners and consumers. The first ones like him because of the simplicity in cultivation, the second - for their special taste and comfort when drinking. Sandless grape varieties have a rich taste and aroma.

Interesting fact: black and white varieties of raisins are used as raw materials for raisins, are actively used in the production of wines and cognacs. Cinnamon is also widely used in winemaking.

Kishmish: the history of oriental sweets

Many centuries ago, in Central Asia, grapes with small seeds were discovered, which eventually disappeared by the method of mutation. This feature was noticed by local residents and continued to develop a culture. So, as a result, grapevine species appeared with white, pink, and dark berries.

Today, the most popular varieties of this dessert and table grape with a sweet taste are Hungarian (Kishmish 324), Aksaysky, Century, Radiant, Moldavian.

Interesting fact: the name was first mentioned in 1212 in an Uzbek fairy tale.

Korinka Russian: the history of the appearance of the variety

This grape was bred in the Tambov region by scientists L. Shtin and I. Filippenko. To get it, they crossed two varieties - "Dawn of the North" with "Black Kishmish."

The goal of the scientists was not to produce seedless grapes, but to develop a frost-resistant plant. As a result of the work of breeders, they were able to get a kind of vine that could withstand frosts down to -28 degrees.

Cinnamon Russian is a table variety that is characterized by very early ripening. The vegetative period on average lasts only 115 days.

Interesting fact: Russian Korinka can independently act as a stock for more fastidious and less cold-resistant types of grape culture.

Cinnamon has another advantage - it has a beautiful decorative vine. Due to this feature, many people choose a variety with the aim of decorating and ennoblement of a summer cottage.

Methods of propagation of seedless grapes

The lack of seeds does not become an obstacle to reproduction. In all varieties of this garden culture, regardless of whether with seeds or without seeds, reproduction occurs in a vegetative way - using cuttings or layering. Thanks to this method, it is possible to maintain all the qualities of a certain variety of berries.

Seed propagation is used by breeders if necessary to develop new varieties. Obtaining new species from seedless varieties is quite difficult. For this, breeders cross them with grapes that have seeds.

Thus, the propagation of seedless grapes is no different from the ways in which other varieties of this garden culture are propagated. Propagation of the vine occurs in a vegetative way - cuttings and layering.
