Recommendations for planting the Zaporozhets crop:

  1. Grape characterized by medium growth vigor. It is strengthened with a successful rootstock.
  2. Fruitful shoots put a lot of stress on the bushes. Careful pruning will correct the situation. Based on the age of the vine, 25-35 eyes are left on the bush.
  3. Prune the crop in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed. The vine is shortened by 6-8 eyes. Particularly productive are those located at the base of the stems.
  4. The developing bush must be normalized - the ends of especially large inflorescences must be removed. After such an operation, the quality of the bunches increases: the berries acquire a brighter taste and presentation.
Ripe brushes are cut off on time. Excess moisture causes cracks to appear on the grapes. Kishmish Zaporozhye is a delicious table grape that does not require special care and will delight you with high yields.
