Having planted the vintage sort of grapes on the site, the gardener soon wants to see the result of his expectations. After all, it happens that the purchased variety is in fact not the one for which it was given, and precious time is spent to care for it.
When does the fruit begin to bear fruit?
The main indicator of the grade of a species will be its berries. In order to understand for which year grapes are fruitful, it is necessary to understand a little about the agrotechnics of this culture. After all, it depends on it, when the first bunch appears on the bush.
Usually the grapes grown from the cuttings bear fruit for 3-4 years, when it is formed not just an unformed loose brush, but a full bunch. This is possible when the grapes receive all the microelements necessary for growth and fruiting, enough sunny days a year to bookmark future buds.
Some varieties , especially the southern, can begin to bear fruit already in the second year after planting. This indicates a good root system, which quickly took root in the ground.
When fruits grapes from a stone?
It turns out, perhaps, to grow a bush of grapes not only from the cuttings, but also from the stone. For this, it is necessary to remove it from the ripe berry and hold it for stratification in the refrigerator for about two months. After this, put the stone in a fertile soil and at the beginning of the summer a young plant can be planted on the street or in a tub.
Fruits grapes from the bone starting at 4-5 years, but in order that this process is not delayed, in no case can not be pruned, until the moment when the vine begins to bear fruit.
Why is there a delay in fruiting?
Whichever year the grapes begin to bear fruit until this point, they need regular care, but without excess. After all, not everyone knows that the overflow leads to a delay in fruiting and the plant, which is in a humid place, develops a very active green mass, but does not hurry to give the grapes. The same applies to excessive fertilization of the bush, especially manure. The excess of microelements, in particular nitrogen, is an excess on which the plant reacts by the lack of harvest.
If the bush does not develop after planting, it is the fault of the wrong transportation and maintenance of the cuttings before selling, when the root has dried up. To protect their future crop, the purchased stalk before planting is soaked for at least 10 hours and treated with Kornevin.
How many years of fruit grapes?
Ordinary varieties, without much care yield yields for 10-25 years, after which they begin to be stricken with disease and dry up. Industrial varieties, with which the breeding work is conducted, are able to bear fruit up to 90 years and this is not an invention but a reality.
