The paper presents the results of evaluation of the foreign hybrid in growing plants on vertical espalier. The study was conducted with hybrids Samorodok F1, Othello F1, Satina F1 and Hrobry F1 nonseedlings way for cultivation. Phenological phases of plant growth and development depended on the hybrid. Faster growth rates occurred in foreign hybrids because they belonged to a group of early. In hybrid development Samorodok F1 late for 4-6 days. In phase mass fruiting hybrids foreign production observed lower main stem height, more number of leaves per plant and lower leaf area, relative to the control variant. The largest yields were obtained in hybrid Satina F1 − 51,9 t/ha and Hrobry F1 − 47,2 t/ha. Most marketability of the fruit was in hybrids foreign production (97,8−99,0%). For biochemical composition of fruits better quality hybrids were characterized Othello F1, Satina F1 and Hrobry F1.
