Variety characteristic
The growing season for this variety is 110 days. Harvesting falls at the beginning of September.
Plant indicators
The description indicates that grape variety One is characterized by a high growth of the bush. Their height in the first years of life reaches 4 m. An adult plant grows up to 5 m. Externally, the bushes are similar to a liana. Often this plant is planted near the gazebos, along which it begins to curl. The trunk diameter of this culture is 10 cm.
According to the description, there are no roughness on the surface of the sheet plate, but there are small notches in the amount of 7 pieces. Leaves are large, up to 20 cm in length. With the arrival of autumn, leaves and young shoots change their color to rich red, which makes the garden design unusual.
Features of the fruit and taste
Description of the appearance of the fruit:
- berries are small, weighing up to 2 g;
- their shape is oval or finger-like;
- the peel is dense and characterized by a dark blue tint;
- when looking at a berry in sunny weather, it seems that its color is pinkish;
- the clusters are small, their length is 20 cm, and their weight is up to 600 g;
- the shape of the bunch is conical;
- the yield is good: each bush gives the gardener up to 7 kg of products.
The taste is dominated by sweetness, since the berry contains 20% sugar. The acidity is low, up to 7%, so it is hardly felt when consumed. The pulp is dense, juicy. The number of seeds is small. This variety is used for fresh consumption and the preparation of dessert wine.
Growing principle
Planting is carried out in early spring. It is worth planting plants in sunny areas that are located on hills. This is justified by the fact that the roots do not tolerate excess moisture. With a close approach to groundwater, root rot begins to develop. It is better to plant plants from the southern part of the garden, since this will speed up the process of fruit ripening. The soil should be nutritious, low in acidity. Loamy soils, chernozems or sandstones are considered ideal.
Sapling selection
Seedlings should be bought only from trusted sellers or nurseries. Propagation of seedlings should be carried out using cuttings. To do this, the cutting is cut off and grafted into another variety, which has a large number of advantages, along with the Odin variety. The place where the cuttings are cut is treated with garden varnish so as not to infect the plant. Reproduction in this way increases the chances of survival of the planting material and improves the quality of the crop.
Landing features
It is necessary to spread the roots of the plant well
In the fall, they begin to prepare the landing hole. Its depth should be 80 cm and width 90 cm.A bucket of humus is poured inside so that during the winter the earth absorbs all the nutrients from the fertilizer. In the spring, a drainage system is installed at the bottom, which is aimed at ventilating air and water inside the root system. The drainage is covered with earth, after which a seedling is placed inside. Its roots are spread over the entire diameter of the hole and sprinkled tightly with a fertile layer of soil.
If you are landing near the gazebo, then it is not necessary to install a support. Otherwise, a metal rod is dug in next to it, to which the planting material is tied. When planting, keep a distance between the bushes of 3 m, and the row spacing should be 4 m.
Crop care rules
Care consists in carrying out standard procedures: watering, fertilizing, pruning, weeding and removing weeds.
- An important step in the care is the application of fertilizers. Without their action, the fruits will be scarce and not tasty. In the spring, a potassium nitrate solution is added to increase the number of blooms. To do this, dissolve 20 g of potassium nitrate in 10 liters of water and pour 10 liters under each bush. In the summer, to give the fruit juiciness, 15 liters of superphosphate solution (30 g per 10 liters of water) are poured under each bush. In the fall, 10 kg / m² of humus are poured in to replenish the soil.
- Water every 7 days. Under each bush, 20 liters of warm water is poured. Before watering, weeds are removed and the topsoil is loosened so that more nutrients enter the roots.
- Pruning is carried out in the fall. To do this, cut the shoots so that they have no more than 5-8 eyes. Dry and diseased parts of the bush should be removed.
Fighting insects and diseases
The grape variety One is characterized by a good immune system, but with poor-quality care, the plant is exposed to parasites and diseases, so you need to know the basic rules to eliminate these problems. When powdery mildew occurs, spraying with a solution of Bordeaux liquid (20 g per 10 l of water) is carried out. In the fight against olive spot, a solution of colloidal salt is used (30 g per 5 l of water). Regular spraying with a solution of copper sulfate (50 g per 5 l of water) helps to get rid of fruit rot.
Sweet traps are used in the fight against wasps. Insects stick to them and do not infect the fruits. To fight the invasion of fleas and aphids, copper-containing preparations help: Oxyhom or Topaz. Dilute 30 g of each drug in 10 l of water and spray at intervals of 10 days.
Conclusion
The Odin grape tree is characterized by good yields, disease resistance and high-quality fruit taste. The main condition is to adhere to all the rules for growing and care.
