Grapes: planting and care

If you are doing a single planting, in this casebushes are best placed on the very edge of the trellis row. In this case, the tapestries should consist of 6 wires. The main load of the crop goes to the first lower wire, so it must be firmly fixed.
This variety is cultivated in almost the same way as others, but it does not withstand adverse climatic conditions well. Pruning grapes must be done long, that is, from 12 to 14 eyes. One bush should have a load of no more than 60 eyes. If we take into account the strength of growth, the number of eyes can increase in proportion to the area and age of the bush. But remember that the harvest must be rationed: there should not be more than one bunch on one vine. Pruning is best done in autumn to avoid losses.
Besides, in no case should you cut the fruit arrows to only one standard, otherwise it can lead to fouling with shoots, many of which will be fattening, and as a result you will not get any harvest.
During the ripening period of the berries, remove two leaves near the bunches in order to provide good access to the sun and give the fruits a bright, colorful shade. But everything needs to be done in moderation, then Rizamat grapes will delight you with their harvest!
