YADRENOYAYA 2

Practical Experience with the «Yadrenaya 2» Cultivar

When you plant «Yadrenaya 2» from FANTZA, the first thing you notice is its vigor. It establishes quickly, and by the second year, you are looking at a substantial yield. Standing 1.5 meters tall with a medium-spreading habit, it is easy to manage in the field. You won't spend all your time building supports, which is a major advantage for commercial or home growers looking to simplify their maintenance routine.

Yield and Harvest Management

The standout feature is clearly the berry size. Ranging from 2.6 to 3.5 cm, these berries make harvesting fast and rewarding. With a yield of 5–7 kg per bush, it is highly productive. The maturation period of 45–55 days gives you a comfortable window to manage the harvest, ensuring you catch the berries at their peak sweetness without the rush of a short, intense window.

Hardiness and Disease Resistance

With a cold tolerance of down to -30°C, the bush is built for harsh winters, with uniform bud break come spring. Most importantly, it is highly resistant to powdery mildew. This translates to significantly fewer fungicide sprays, keeping production costs lower and the produce cleaner. Maintenance is straightforward; the bush responds well to standard fertilizers and doesn't require specialized care to hit its 7 kg target.

• Maintenance: Excellent bush structure; pruning is simple and keeps the plant productive for years.
• Harvesting: The skin is firm enough to handle transport without leaking, which is crucial for market supply.
• Hardiness: Exceptional winter survival, rarely showing frost damage on young shoots.

This is a robust, reliable choice for anyone looking for a high-yield, low-maintenance blackcurrant cultivar that performs consistently under pressure.
