Theoretically, the variety is red, but in practice, the fruits in Poland have a purplish-pink hue. Interestingly, the same variety in the far south of Europe can have green fruits, and in a very cold climate – almost blue-black, usually smaller. The flesh is moderately firm, wine-sweet, and tasty. According to some, it has a hint of raspberry or strawberry flavor. The fruits are suitable for direct consumption, juice, and sweet wine.

The variety is fairly resistant to fungal diseases, except for powdery mildew. A major advantage of Red Swenson is its cold resistance. The vines can withstand frost down to -30°C, and there is no need to protect them in winter.

Ripening: second half of September.

Caring: At the beginning of November, we cover the vines with soil (peat), making a mound of about 30 cm height over each of them, protecting a few of the lowest buds. In the first year after planting, we train to one shoot. Pruning in subsequent years depends on the method of training and pruning used for the vines.

Planting: Plant 10-15 cm deeper than it was in the pot. Smaller plants should be planted in a depression and covered with soil only in the fall. This planting method significantly increases the frost resistance of the vines.
