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. 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

Can be planted both in spring and autumn. When buying this type of plant, you need to pay attention to the root system. Roots should be 3-4, strong and thick enough. And the shoots themselves should be at least 17 cm in length and have a dark green color.

Romeo does not like very wet soil. Planting in fertile soil is required while maintaining the distance between seedlings at least 3 m. The holes should be 80x80x80cm in size. Close contact of groundwater is prohibited.

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

Does not require additional pollination, it can self-pollinate due to the presence of flowers of both sexes. The ovary is very large and has a light green color.

Pruning

Pruning is an important step in grooming. In time, it should take place at the beginning of spring. The load on the bush is normally 35 eyes.

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 irrigation 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.

When the bushes are covered with special material, they withstand severe frosts even better. To properly close the grapes for cold weather, they are laid on the ground, tied and wrapped in material.

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