Vitis piasezkii seed

LATIN NAME: Vitis piasezkii

COMMON NAME: Piasezki’s Grape

The Piasezki’s grape is the wild vine of the northern valleys, with the small, dark grapes that ripen late and well. The vigorous, deciduous climber carries the large, shallow-lobed leaves and the small, loose clusters of the inconspicuous flowers through the late spring, to be followed by the small, round, blue-black grapes with the fine, sweet-sharp flavour. The vine is a fine, generous presence of the warm wall, the pergola and the wild patch, and the grapes make a fine jelly and a fine table grape of the cool regions. It is a vine of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The Piasezki’s grape is a wild, fruitful subject of the plant science, and the small, dark grapes keep showing up in the work on the grape group. The cold hardiness and the disease resistance of the wild vines, which carry the genes the breeders value, have been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the vitis genetics, the cold-climate grapes and the members of the grape family. The large, lobed leaves and the vigorous habit have also made it a fine garden vine, and the Piasezki’s grape is a regular subject of the work on the wild vines of the cool world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The Piasezki’s grape is a fine, generous vine of the warm wall and the wild patch. The small, round, blue-black grapes ripen late and carry the fine, sweet-sharp flavour, making a good table grape of the cool regions and a fine jelly for the kitchen, and the vine covers the wall and the pergola with the large, lobed leaves through the summer. The wild vine carries the hardiness that the grape breeders value, and it is one of the fine choices for the cool-climate grape and the ornamental screen. It has been written up in the horticultural and the agricultural papers for the dark grapes and the cold, hardy ways, and it is a fine, generous vine of the open, sunny, well-drained garden.

The Piasezki’s grape is one of the wild vines of the cool valleys, and the small, dark grapes ripen late with the fine, sweet-sharp flavour. The vine covers the wall and the pergola with the large, lobed leaves.

To grow the Piasezki’s grape from seed, sow the small, round seeds a little below the surface of a tray of damp, free-draining soil, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings show themselves within a few weeks and climb fast. With the sun, the warmth and the well-drained ground, the dark grapes will come through the late summer.
