Features of the bush:

• shoots are strong, long;
• raids ripen along their entire length;
• the bush takes root well;
• the vine ripens 2/3 of its length.

Growing grapes

The variety can be grown in any territory

Because grapes of this variety are grown in any territory, there are no special planting requirements. The main thing is to regularly inspect the bush.

Landing in the soil

When choosing a seedling, the root system and the condition of the shoots are examined. They should not be dry and waterlogged. It is necessary that the root system is well developed.

The landing site is chosen according to the following criteria:

• good lighting - the bush will stay in the shade for a maximum of 1 hour during the day;
• lack of large fruit trees nearby;
• no drafts and strong gusts of wind;
• groundwater is at a level less than 1 m.

Plant care

Caring for this type of grape consists of the following procedures:

• fertilization;
• watering.

Garter

It is carried out to form a bush. It is carried out in 2 stages. The first is a dry garter.It is done in early spring, when the buds have not yet blossomed. A wire is attached to the lower part of the bush. Make different bends to make nutrients more accessible.

The second stage is the green garter. It is done in the first year after the tree reaches 40-50 cm in height. Young vines are fixed on the trellis at a slight angle. The procedure is carried out for good access to sunlight and protection from wind gusts.

Pruning

Pruning is carried out to rejuvenate and heal the bush. Dry, frozen branches, bunches that do not bear fruit are removed. There are 3 types of trimming:

1. Spring circumcision. It is carried out after frost, when the temperature at night exceeds 5 ° C. Usually, damaged shoots or extra raids of the second order are removed.
2. Summer. Extra branches are broken, the leaves are removed, blocking the light to the berries. This is necessary to provide the bush with light and normal ventilation.
3. In the autumn. First, the bunches and shoots with fruits and those that did not bear fruit are removed. The second stage of pruning occurs after the foliage has dropped.

Fertilizer

Top dressing is applied 3 times - in spring, summer and autumn. The first and third are required, the second is optional. In the spring they focus on mineral fertilizers, in the fall - on organic, in the summer - on complex fertilizers.

The main stages of dressing:

2. Before flowering. Take manure and chicken droppings. Dilute them in 2 buckets of warm water, bringing them to a slurry consistency. The container is tightly closed and allowed to brew for at least 6-7 days. After that, the slurry is diluted in water in a ratio of 1: 6. Optionally add 30 g of potassium and 40 g of superphosphate. Consumption rate - 1 bucket of solution per 1 bush.
3. After flowering (early ripening). They make potassium-phosphorus fertilizing. Take 55 g of superphosphate and 25 g of potassium. Diluted in a bucket of water. Introduce under 1 bush.

Watering

Watering is carried out at least 3 times. The watering time coincides with the feeding time. For each watering you need 3-4 buckets of water.
