The hybrid is obtained by crossing two parent forms:

It is successfully grown along the entire Black Sea coast, in the Don region, in the Caucasus. In temperate climates, culture requires shelter for the winter.

The bush is young, planted with cuttings last year in the spring. The vine over the past season has matured to a length of 2 meters, its thickness was slightly more than 0.5 mm. The seedling is medium in development. This spring began to form a cordon, left 3 clusters. I liked the form, there was no peeling. The berries ripened by August 15-20. Two clusters of 300 g each, one about 1000 g. The mass of berries from 10 to 12 g. The bush did not hurt, the growth was average, the taste is very satisfied, and the appearance of the berries did not disappoint: the color is purple with a purine hue, in the taste of notes of muscat.

In a state of removable maturity, the berries are pale pink. If the clusters are left, not cut off immediately, they are gaining a more intense color. Yield of Dawn Unslightly is good, even if the load is high. This is me in refuting rumors that this form is not fruitful.
