Kishmish grape Jupiter: an American variety that is not afraid of Russian winters

On garden plots, raisins are increasingly found. For many lovers of sunny berries, the complete or almost absolute absence of seeds in berries is a huge advantage over table grapes. Moreover, new varieties of raisins are constantly appearing, which can be grown in regions with cold winters. And although the dictionaries interpret the word borrowed from Persian "kishmish" as "small sweet seedless grapes and raisins from it", I want to argue with them. Varieties of modern breeding give rather large seedless berries, from which excellent raisins are really obtained. An example would be the Jupiter variety.

The Talisman grape is a variety that has long earned recognition, although it has not yet turned thirty years old. In the years of his birth, he became a kind of sensation, since there were very few such varieties with high resistance to frost and disease, fruiting with large tasty berries. Nowadays, it is grown everywhere, but the main role of the variety is, perhaps, in the fact that many modern hybrid forms of table grapes are derived from it.
