Concorde is a popular grape variety that is highly valued for its excellent taste and some of the characteristics of agricultural technology. Gardeners are also attracted by the high yield of the plant. Let's take a closer look at the Concorde variety.

Breeding history

For the first time, the introduced variety was bred by US breeders. Catawba and Vitis Labrusca are considered to be its "parents".

Description

The vigorous vine of the liana-like type is characteristic of the Concord variety. The leaf is large, slightly dissected and abundantly covered with pile on the lower part. Shoots ripen actively and simultaneously.

Ripening period

The presented variety belongs to the mid-late varieties, the first berries can be enjoyed 186 days after bud break.

Bunches

The bunch is characterized by a conical shape with one or two wings. Its density is medium, its size is small, its weight is about 120 g.

Berries

The fruits have a dark blue thick skin, the pulp has a "fox" aroma and is separated by a "pouch". The berries are round in shape, the size is medium.

Taste

Taste properties are assessed in different ways. Someone feels a bright isable aftertaste, someone feels strawberry notes, and for some it's just sugary sweet berries.

Yield

Concord is a high-yielding variety. Judging by the gardeners' reviews, you can get 6-8 buckets of harvest from one bush.

The choice of planting material
Experienced gardeners recommend that beginners take cuttings and seedlings from those who made them from their own vine and are professionally engaged in the production of such material.
You can evaluate the quality by cutting off a small amount of bark. When growing a bush from a cuttings and observing the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 90%, the high quality of the plant is practically guaranteed. It is possible to control the development of grapes at all stages.
Subject to the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 100%. The seedlings must be healthy. Pay attention to the absence of blisters, growths, or other signs of disease.

Growing features

Concorde is very vulnerable to watering. So, to preserve moisture, it is important to mulch the soil even at the planting stage. However, even with waterlogging of the soil, problems can arise, for example, plant disease. Therefore, when watering, you should observe the golden mean. It is important to prevent the use of spray agents.

The first feeding is done in the third year of life, usually growers recommend applying organic fertilizers. Next year, mineral supplements will also become relevant, it is better to add them in the form of solutions.

And also when leaving, it is important to regularly weed the soil around the bush.

Landing

Best of all, the culture will develop on light fertile soil. If planting is carried out on poor land, then when planting, a layer of earth should be mixed with rotted manure, broken brick and mineral mixtures.

For this variety, a planting pit with a size of 100x100 cm is suitable.In group planting, the distance between seedlings should not be less than 2 m.If a drainage pipe is placed during planting, this will simplify the processes of watering and feeding the plant.

Landing features
In order for the vine to give a signal harvest after 3 years, it is necessary to take into account many factors - from the type of soil on the site to the nearby plants.

Pollination

The concord has a bisexual flower type, so it does not need the proximity of other pollinator varieties.

Pruning

Typically, the presented variety is grown in an arched way, so formative pruning is carried out under the arch. However, the bush itself often grows in this way, this is inherent in its nature, therefore, formative pruning is not always required, which cannot be said about sanitary pruning. In the fall, it is carried out 2-3 weeks after the leaves fly around, and in the spring - before the buds open. During the event, it is required to remove dried, old or damaged branches.

Pruning is one of the main grape care procedures. Depending on the purpose of pruning and the type of plant, the appropriate type of formation is selected.
Irrigation schemes
In order for the berries to be large and juicy, it is necessary to organize full watering and feeding. All standards must be adjusted for weather conditions and the rate of evaporation of the liquid.
With a frequent watering scheme, it is recommended to moisturize once every two weeks (that is, twice a month during flowering and the appearance of berries) so that the earth is saturated 50 cm deep so that the plant does not switch to superficial (dew) roots. This amount can be reduced by mulching the crop with straw.
With a rare irrigation scheme, having chosen the age and ripening period of the grapes, you can use the standards presented in the table in another article.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The variety has high frost resistance, it is able to withstand temperatures up to -30 degrees without shelter.

Shelter for the winter is a very important step for the preservation of many grape varieties after wintering.

Diseases and pests

Fungi infrequently infect the Concord variety, but the culture's resistance to mildew is estimated at 3 points, which means that you need to take care of protecting the plant from this ailment. Fungicides are suitable for processing. But the wasps are not afraid of the plant, since they are not interested in a dense skin with a wax coating.

Storage

Bunches are stored for a long time both on the bush and in the cellar. After harvesting, it is important to put the crop in boxes and put it in the cellar, in this form they can lie for 30-60 days without losing their presentation. Berries even improve their palatability when lying down. Bunches of this variety are distinguished by good transportation.
