** PLEASE NOTE: Although considered a «seedless» variety, seeds might occasionally appear some years, when the vine has been “stressed”.

 

As stated by Cornell University: «The degree of seedlessness varies greatly among seedless grape varieties. Most seedless grapes have vestigial seed traces that range in size from very small to large and noticeable. Seed traces in berries of the same variety may vary greatly in size and in the hardness of their seed coats. Climate is also known to affect seed trace size. Occasionally the seed traces in some seedless grapes are large enough to be bothersome to consumers.»

 

*WARNING! This grape variety is not hardy in Quebec. Winter protection is required in areas which hardiness zone is less than 5b (Ex: 5b, 5a, 4b, 4a, 3b etc… Cover with geotextile…)

 

No guarantee offered on cultivars that are not hardy in Quebec.

Einset

 

Le cépage Einset  porte le nom du Dr John Einset, l’un des plus grands cytogénéticiens de fruits et l’un des meilleurs producteurs et sélectionneurs de fruits du monde, ainsi qu’en attestent les cultivars de raisins et de pommes qu’il a introduits.

 

Le Dr Einset, (aujourd’hui décédé), fut un éminent membre du personnel de la Station d’Expérimentation Agricole de l’État de New York de 1942 à 1973. Il y fut pendant une période de 18 ans, chef du Département de Pomologie.

 

Ses travaux en matière de sélection fruitière auront abouti à plusieurs nouveaux cultivars qui auront un impact sur l’industrie du raisin pendant de nombreuses années.

 

Ces efforts culminèrent en 1972, lorsqu’il introduisit le «Cayuga White», le premier raisin crée par la Station exclusivement pour le marché du vin.

 

Il introduisit d’autres nouveaux cultivars: le «Canada Muscat» et le «New York Muscat» (offert dans la boutique de Vignes Chez Soi) (1961), ainsi que le «Suffolk Red»(offert dans la boutique Vignes Chez Soi) et le «Lakemont» (1972).

 

Dr Einset also cooperated in introducing six new apple cultivars: ‘Wayne,’ ‘Niagara,’ and ‘Spigold’ (1962), ‘Empire’ (1966), and ‘Jonagold’ and ‘Spijon’ (1968). The very high quality apple, ‘Spigold’ resulted from his cytological studies.

 

His contributions, inspiration and exceptional abilities have been recognized by all his associates who have had the chance to work with him, and his impact on viticulture in the United States is invaluable and sustainable.

 

Thomas Jefferson, 3ème président des États-Unis d’Amérique, a dit un jour: «Le plus grand service que l’on puisse rendre à tout pays est d’ajouter une plante utile à sa culture».

 

En introduisant plusieurs excellents nouveaux cultivars de fruits, John Einset a certainement rendu de grands services à son pays.
