What is Timur grapes known for and does it have any disadvantages?

The variety has many advantages over other types of grapes, namely:

• early terms of formation and ripening of the crop;
• good maturity of the vine;

• excellent yield, despite the small size of the bushes;
• large berries with sweet and dense pulp;
• self-pollination and lack of pea berries;

At the same time, Timur also has some drawbacks, for example, wasps easily damage his thin skin. Therefore, special bags are put on the bunches so that insects do not spoil them.The growers also note that on too heavy and waterlogged soil, the sugar content in the berries decreases, even the skin becomes sour. The modest size of plants can also be considered a relative disadvantage. But even this can be dealt with by grafting Timur onto old vigorous species.
