Many people know that grapes mainly grow in the southern regions and take root in the central or northern regions. Therefore, it is very difficult to find a variety with high frost resistance. Grapes Pearls Pink is just one of the frost-resistant varieties.

Breeding history

This culture takes its roots from the Pearl grape variety, which was bred in Hungary. To obtain, we took two types: Hungarian Muscat and Ottonel Muscat, from which a new variety of Pearls Saba was obtained. Later, on the territory of Russia, it was crossed and pollinated with other varieties, after which Pearl Pink was born, which was bred at the Academy of Agricultural Science in Michurinsk.

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

For planting Pink Pearls, it is worth choosing the sunny part of the site. It is necessary to plant in the spring, in the southern regions, planting can be done in late April - early May, but in the northern regions it is better to wait for June and plant seedlings in the 20th.

Grapes should not be watered often and abundantly, or choose soil that does not dry out well - the roots of this culture may begin to rot. If, nevertheless, the site can be flooded, then it is worth considering drainage systems.

The ideal soil will be clay or black earth. The acidity must be neutral, otherwise the seedling will not take root.

Landing

Disembarkation should be carried out at a specially designated place. The distance between the pits should be 1.5-2 m, and between the rows 2-3 m. The depth of the fossa should be 0.5-0.8 m, diameter - 0.8 m. Drainage must be placed at the bottom. Pebbles or broken bricks will do. Sprinkle a little with fertile soil. Further, a seedling is lowered into the hole, the earth is buried and compacted around the branch. Spill with water, on average it takes half a bucket.

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

This species has flowers of both sexes, so there is no need for additional pollination.

Pruning

The first pruning should be carried out in the first year before planting; excess branches and roots are trimmed. In the second year, 2-3 eyes are cut off. It is necessary to begin to form a bush, to make supports on which branches will be suspended. Then, after each winter, the bushes are inspected for dry, broken branches or those that have not survived the winter. And also it is necessary to thin out the bushes, especially those vines that began to grow in the wrong direction.

It is worth leaving only 30 eyes on the vine per season. This is the most acceptable load on the bush for this species.

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 variety is up to -25 degrees. With light frosts down to -18, the bushes need not be covered with a special covering. But if the temperature drops below, then it will be necessary to cover the bushes in order to avoid freezing of the vines.

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

Diseases and pests

The variety is subject to disease and pest attacks. Among fungal diseases, this is mildew. And among the pests are phylloxera, grape and spider mites, leafworms and wasps.

Storage

Harvesting Pink Pearls should be done in a timely manner, do not leave the berries overripe, as they will lose their taste. But it is also not worth removing the bunches immature, they will not be suitable for further storage.

Can be stored in a dimly lit place with a humidity of no more than 70%, at temperatures from zero to +2 degrees. Some gardeners even freeze these berries.
