You can grow a vine by planting seedlings or cuttings. With the cut-off method, planting is best done in autumn, seedlings, on the contrary, take root better in spring.

Vine bushes prefer humus-rich soil. Plants on the hillsides and rocky areas feel comfortable. The groundwater level should not exceed 2.5 meters from the soil surface.

Landing pits are prepared in advance so that the soil is well settled. Otherwise, the likelihood of basal voids is high, which leads to the death of the plant.

Before planting, you should consider which side the support for the bushes will be located. With a slope in this direction, it is necessary to arrange seedlings when planting. So, the vine will naturally stretch to the support, and, therefore, it will be easier to tie it up.

Watering

A deep root system allows grapes to easily tolerate drought. However, with the help of timely irrigation, you can get larger berries and strengthen the plant's immunity. Irrigation rates vary from soil composition. The approximate water consumption is presented in the table:

Reviews

Svetlana Stepanovna, Leningrad Region

Zolotinka has been growing on my site for the sixth year already. Sapling purchased in the market from an experienced winegrower. In the appendix to each seedling he gives out instructions for planting and care. I tried to follow all the recommendations. The main ones: it is watering through a drainage pipe, forming a bush so that there are no more than 40 eyes. As a result, harvests are pleasing even in our cloudy region.

Eugene, Voronezh

Great variety. It grows well and brings annual crops. The bushes are very vigorous and strong, clusters of medium friability. The grapes taste sweet, nutmeg. The berries are firm but not crunchy. Vineyard care is minimal. Water, if only for a long time there is heat and drought. From top dressing I use organics in early spring and autumn. I recommend everyone to cultivate the plot. There are no special worries, and the taste is no worse than what they sell in the store.
