Kodrianka refers to table grape varieties. In terms of ripening - the variety is super early, high-yielding. So, the first berries can be harvested after 105-120 days after planting.

In ripened form, grapes have a dense flesh and are quite easily separated from the bunch. The peel of the berries is dark purple in color, it is almost not felt during eating.

The taste of the grapes is not very pronounced, and there is no strong aroma, but it is quite harmonious and pleasant, moderately sweet.

Grade description

The Codryanka plant is very tall. Bushes are quite powerful. Large grapes weighing about 7 grams have a slightly elongated shape. But if the weather conditions are unfavorable, or the rules for caring for the plant were not followed, then the berries can become very small, somewhat reminiscent of peas.

Of course, this problem was solved by experienced gardeners and gardeners. So, Kodryanka bushes simply need to be treated with gibberellin, and this will bring excellent results.

Gibberellin is a growth stimulator based on acetylsalicylic acid. It is its effect on the plant that allows several times to increase the mass of berries, and the crop as a whole.

But, in solution, the concentration of this acid should not be higher than 50 mg / l of water. Moreover, as practice shows, if zircon (0.1 mg per 1 liter) is added to the substance, this can lead to an increase in acidity.

Bunches and berries

In the ripened form, the Kodryanka clusters have an average weight of 500 g. If you follow all the rules for caring for the plant, you can achieve absolutely amazing results - get clusters of 1 kg.

Ripened, they can hang on the vine for a long time, and not lose their taste with appearance. Therefore, this variety can be stored for a long time, it has excellent keeping quality, and is transported without problems over long distances, without losing its presentation.

For the above reasons, Kodryanka is most often grown for commercial purposes - for sale.

The main purpose of berries is to eat fresh, but, often, compotes, marinades are boiled, canned. But, Kodryanka is not suitable for making juice or wine, for drying.

Landing

Proper planting, and compliance with the recommended rules for caring for the plant - the key to a good harvest. The main feature of Kodryanka is that the variety can grow in almost any soil, even on a site that is not intended for agricultural planting.

For planting in the soil, it is better to purchase seedlings aged from a year or more, but it is worth paying attention to young vines. The main plus - the first crop can be harvested already 3 years after planting.

It is best to plant plants at the beginning of spring, until buds appear on it. Or in late autumn, before the first frost.As a rule, landing is carried out on a U-shaped trellis or a special arch. For one plant, it is necessary to allocate 5-7 m. Of free space.

Only with such an area can the grapes be properly ventilated, and also will not be negatively affected by fungal infections. The latter, in most cases, manifest themselves in the form of rotting of grapes during their ripening (mid-end of June).

If you plant Kodryanka in the Moscow Region, you must additionally resort to preventive measures - systematic mineral dressing on a mineral basis, as well as more abundant watering of plants. In winter, the bushes should be covered - to protect against freezing.

Bushes

There are several ways to form cordon bushes of Kodrianka:

• Guyo;
• Mixed Umbrella;
• Silvoza;
• Roya
• Etc.

But, it is best to use the inclined formation method. Such a cordon in the process of plant development will maximize the strengthening of the bushes, making them even more vigorous.

Another benefit of the inclined cordon formation is that the bushes will begin to produce the first fruits much faster. Such a formation, by the way, is most often used for table and technical grape varieties.

How is the formation carried out? Near the bush, one shoulder of the trellis is formed, tilted at an angle, and the horns of the plant are evenly distributed on it, on which clusters will form.

You need to plant this grape in one row, several bushes. The angle of the cordon, in this case, should be formed approximately 1.5 meters. That is, it should turn out so that the top of one bush is in contact with the top of the neighboring one.

How to care

Caring for Kodryanka is very simple. It is only necessary to systematically water the plants, mulch, and also monitor the dead branches, and prune them. It is also necessary to spray the bushes.

At the end of autumn, many summer residents cover plants. This should only be done in very cold winters, when the thermometer thermometer shows -20 and below. But, it is believed that this variety is able to "survive" in frosts down to -22.

How to care in the suburbs

The Kodryanka variety is able to adapt to any climatic conditions, and in any case will give a good harvest. That is why it is increasingly planted by gardeners from the suburbs. Even with severe drought, the variety will feel great.

Trimming Kodryanka costs 2-3 eyes, no more. At the top of the bush you can leave 4-5 eyes. If you leave more, then the berries will simply become small. Yes, they will not lose their taste, but under such conditions they are more susceptible to fungal diseases.

“I have been growing this variety for a long time. And I would like to note that it is best to plant like this: before planting, soak the stalk for 2-3 days, then dip its top in hot paraffin, and lower the lower part into a container with any solution to stimulate the root system. Then, in a pre-prepared hole, you need to pour the purchased fertile soil, and compact it well. Moreover, it is better to cover the landing site with plastic wrap, and thread the stalk through the hole made in this film ”
