The choice of planting material
Experienced gardeners recommend that beginners take cuttings and seedlings from those who made them from their vines 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.

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

When growing Summer Muscat, it is important to provide the bushes with sufficient space. 1 plant should have 3-5 m2 of area. Trellis with a height of 2 m or more or arches must be used.

Landing

The optimal time for planting the Muscat Summer variety is autumn, when you can choose the strongest and healthiest plants. In addition, they will have ample rooting time. Planting begins in October, but with a margin, before the onset of frost, taking care of protecting young shoots from the cold. For this purpose, ordinary plastic bottles with cut ventilation holes are used.

Annual plants are planted in spring.They already have stiff shoots, and the young bushes themselves are ready for rapid rooting. They are placed in the ground at the beginning of May, after the soil has warmed up to +10 degrees. The choice of a place on the site for the vineyard is made in favor of sunny, protected from strong winds areas located no closer than 2-3 m to the fruit trees.

Planting pits are prepared with a size of 80 × 80 cm.They are dug out in advance, leaving a fertile soil layer, and then mixing it with 2-3 buckets of organic matter and 300 g of wood ash. It is also worth putting up to 0.5 kg of superphosphate in the soil mixture. The resulting substrate is placed in a pit, carefully spilled. The seedling is soaked in water with a root formation stimulator, then it is placed with its “heel” in the hole to a depth of 0.5 m, sprinkled with soil until it grows.

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 variety is distinguished by the presence of bisexual flowers. It does not need additional efforts to obtain a crop, pollination occurs naturally.

Pruning

Muscat Summer vine is trimmed into 7-8 eyes. In total, 30-40 are left on the bush. Such rationing will increase the size of the bunches. In the first 3 years, only spring pruning is practiced, then it is done in the fall.

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, choosing the age and maturation of the grapes, you can use the standards presented in the table in another article.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

Review overview

According to amateur gardeners, Summer Muscat can be called a good choice for both beginners and experienced winegrowers. Its taste has pronounced spicy and tart notes. It is noticed that when ripening on the bush, the berries pick up nutmeg in aroma and pulp, and also acquire an amber hue. Growing conditions greatly affect the palatability.

Of the shortcomings, the owners highlight the need for compulsory normalization of the shoots. The reason for this is the high proportion of fruitful vines. But the bush can easily withstand a load of 2-3 clusters per shoot.There are also mentions that the pulp of the berries is too watery with thick skin, and the size of the brushes is close to the minimum values ​​indicated by the originator.
