Many gardeners want to try to grow something new, exotic. As you know, not all varieties of any crops take root well on the territory of Russia. But the beautiful Ukrainian grape variety Ruta grows well in any part of Russia.

Breeding history

Table grape varieties are gaining unprecedented popularity among amateurs and gardeners, so breeders have to invent more and more interesting and unique varieties. The Ruta grape variety was bred by the Ukrainian breeder V. Zagorulko from the Zaporozhye region. In order to create a new species, he took two varieties as a basis, namely: Talisman grapes and Radiant raisins. The culture adopted all the worthy qualities of its predecessors, but Russian gardeners "tasted" this grape only by 2015.

Description

The Ruta grape has beautiful vigorous bushes. The vine is strong, reaching a length of 4 m. The plant does not have the ability to quickly spread its shoots, so frequent pruning is not necessary. The leaves are large, bright green in color, have 4-5 lobes.

The bunches are usually medium in size and the berries are large.

This crop can be planted around arches, as the bushes need additional support. Differs in a stable harvest and unpretentiousness to the soil. One of the advantages is the lack of friability and a long period of being on the bush without losing qualities or raisins.

Ripening period

The hybrid belongs to varieties with an early ripening period, the growing season is from 90 to 100 days. It turns out that the buds begin to swell in May, but the first harvest can already be removed in August.

Bunches

Ruta grapes have relatively small clusters. Their average weight is 400 g. The tassels are conical in shape, the stalks are strong, very short, of a greenish-brown hue.

Berries

The berries attract with their color, deep pink hue, with a raspberry or even amber sheen. The color depends on the amount of sunlight. The fruit is oval or nipple in shape. The skin is smooth, glossy, thin. The pulp is fleshy and juicy; when eaten, the berry crunches slightly. Bones are present.

On average, one berry weighs 12-14 g.

Taste

The berries have a pronounced sweet taste with a slight touch of nutmeg. There is a slight sour taste. The sugar content is 21%, but the acid is only 7 g.

Yield

The yield of the hybrid is average - 18 kg per bush. Fruiting is stable, albeit small.

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

In order for the grapes to bear fruit well, a number of certain growing rules must be observed.

  1. The variety does not like excessively moist soil. Therefore, it is worth watering only when the ground becomes dry.

  2. It is necessary to loosen the soil at least once every two weeks.

  3. It is worth leaving only 50-60 eyes, no more, otherwise the bushes will not cope.

  4. Prune old branches.

  5. Conduct disease prevention approximately 2 times in one season.

Landing

The method for planting is to choose a trench, this will have a beneficial effect on the growth of the vine. Trellises or arches should be installed along the trench. The distance between the seedlings should be 2-2.5 m, and the rows should be spaced from each other after 3 m.The depth of the pit should be 60 cm.Fertilizer (humus) is placed on the bottom, then a layer of soft earth, a seedling is planted, covered with earth and tamped ... After that, the earth is plentifully spilled with water and mulched as needed.

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

Since the flowers of Ruta grapes are only female, gardeners plant nearby grapes with male flowers, most often it is Arcadia grapes.

Pruning

The first pruning is done in the spring. Bushes should be inspected for the presence of non-overwintered or dried branches. Next, the branches are examined for the presence of diseases. During flowering, it is necessary to remove weak shoots or those that began to grow in the wrong direction.

On average, one bush should have no more than 60 eyes. The grapes can overgrow, and this will interfere with pollination.

In the fall, the vines are cut for another 8-10 eyes.

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 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.
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 frost resistance of the culture is low, withstands up to -21 degrees. Without shelter, it will endure winter only in the southern regions. In the rest, covering material or spruce branches should be used for protection.

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

Diseases and pests

The brightly colored bunches are highly attractive to birds, so a fine mesh netting is best for protection. Wasps are indifferent to this culture, according to gardeners.

Other pests include leafworm, grape mite and phylloxera. For prevention, it is necessary to treat the vines with insecticides at least twice a season.

Storage

The variety can be stored in a dimly lit place for one month at a temperature not exceeding 5 degrees.
