Features of cultivation

1. The main differences of this variety are its rapid growth and good level of rooting. But the part that is located above the ground does not tolerate frost well, so grafting of this variety is best done on varieties that are resistant to sub-zero temperatures.Otherwise, there is a risk of losing the plant after the first winter.
2. It is necessary to plant grapes in the spring, as soon as the frosts end. This is necessary to reduce the risk of freezing. The finished seedling must be planted together with the soil in which it began to develop, so the plant and the lump of earth are transferred to a previously prepared hole. In advance, the hole is watered abundantly with water and peat is additionally laid. In the first three to four days after planting the seedling, abundant watering must be observed, then it is gradually replaced by moderate watering.
3. This grape variety is unpretentious, even if the whole summer was cool and rainy. At the end of July you can already harvest a good harvest. But in winter, the above-ground part must be covered, even if this variety was grafted onto frost-resistant grapes.
4. Once a year it is necessary to carry out a procedure such as pruning shoots that develop poorly and practically do not produce any harvest. This will keep the entire bush in excellent condition and increase the level and quality of grape yield. Pruning for this grape variety should be carried out in two main types: long (8-10 buds) and medium pruning with 5-6 buds. One bush can have about 50 eyes.
