The best late grape varieties

The best late grapes ripen when the season is already over for many fruits, so they are one of the last reminders of summer. Such grapes have a long growing season and a large SAT (sum of active temperatures). Therefore, the south of our country is the place where it is best grown. Late varieties ripen not earlier than the end of September. We will tell in the article in detail about care and cultivation, we will give recommendations to gardeners.

Pros and cons of late grape varieties

These varieties have their pros and cons. One of the advantages is that they are well suited for winter seasons and, what is important, do not lose their valuable properties. The disadvantages include poor frost resistance, as well as susceptibility to many diseases. Due to frost and low temperatures, berries in late varieties ripen sour.

The main difference between late varieties and early and middle ones is the growing season and the sum of active temperatures (SAT). For early varieties, SAT is at least 2400 ° С, for middle ones - 2650 ° С, and for late varieties - 2800 - 2850 ° С.

Growing late grapes (including in the middle lane)

It is imperative to take care of young plantings of late varieties, otherwise it will be difficult to count on a good harvest. The varieties need to be regularly fed, watered, loosened the soil, and tied up growing shoots. Read also the article: → "Rules for caring for grapes in the open field: watering, pruning, bait".

Tip # 1. While the late grapes are young and only gaining strength, you need to feed the roots first.

In order for the grapes to stop growing in time, you need to mint the shoots, that is, remove their upper part, on which the leaves are located, which did not have time to fully grow. This should be done when the growth of the shoots becomes slower, as can be judged by the tops of the shoots: if they began to straighten, then the growth has slowed down. The minting is carried out together with the removal of the stepsons.

Chasing is necessary for the grapes to stop growing in time.

In the early years, care should be taken that there are not too many shoots and berries on the bushes, otherwise underdeveloped poorly ripening branches will begin to appear. In the spring, it is necessary to open sheltered bushes, otherwise the eyes will be damaged. But at the same time, do everything possible so that the eyes do not damage the spring frosts.

Shrub formation and pruning

A vertical trellis (up to 2 m in height) is used as a support for late varieties of bushes. It consists of several tiers of wire, which is fixed to the posts.It is installed in the spring in the second year after planting, when the late grapes have already formed a root system and a leaf apparatus has developed. Read also the article: → "DIY grape trellis".

In the middle lane, the covering forms of the late varieties are optimal. The best of them is considered to be the fan, which has slanted sleeves. Branches develop on them, at the end of which there are annual shoots.

When the second growing season begins, it is customary to cut off last year's shoots into several eyes. But the shoots should be left, making a debris on annual young bushes. This will help the new sleeves to form. Before the third growing season, the shoots are cut to the length of one sleeve. Then they are tied to the first trellis wire. The top two new branches on each shoot are left, the rest are broken out.

Finally, before the fourth growing season begins, fruit links are created from those shoots that are located at the very end of the sleeve. From the very bottom shoot formed on the recovery knot, a new knot is formed. This is how the "creation" of the bush ends.

How to prune branches of grapes to increase yields

Pruning is central to late grape cultivation. It is produced every year. If this is not done, the grapes will begin to resemble thickets, and the quality of the harvest will dramatically decrease.

Pruning is a must, otherwise the grapes will turn into a jungle.

Pruning means removing and shortening all young and old shoots. Pruning should be done when the plant is not yet blooming and is dormant. This period occurs in spring and autumn.

In pruning, it is important to determine how many eyes to leave on the bush (determine the load) and how long the pruning should be (how many eyes to leave on annual shoots after the shortening procedure). The load should be optimal for the bush. Growth is the indicator that will help determine it.

There are three types of trimming:

• short (this is when you need to leave two or a maximum of three eyes on the shoot (annual);
• long (at least 5 eyes are left);
• mixed.

The thicker the shoot, the longer its pruning. When the plant is still young, pruning is done to create the sleeves of the bush. Therefore, overloading must not be allowed. But then, when the grapes begin to bear fruit, the meaning of pruning changes. Now it is carried out to maintain the shape and maintain the crowns within the area set aside for nutrition, and also so as not to upset the balance between fruiting and growth.

Before pruning, it is important to determine how many eyes should remain on the shoot.

In the middle lane, it is best to prune like this: first, in the fall, before covering the bushes, do a preliminary pruning, and in the spring after opening, do the final pruning. Pre-pruning involves cutting off the upper unripe part of the green shoots. Well, the final one is the removal of frozen damaged shoots. Read also the article: → "Pruning and forming grapes in the fall."

Vine garter rules

After finishing trimming, you need to tie the sleeves evenly to the 1st tier of the trellis. This should be done along the row. Annual (shortened) shoots that have been left on the sleeves should be tied horizontally to one of the first two wires of the trellis.

Tip # 2. Shoots are usually tied to trellises obliquely. In this case, you need to make sure that they and the future sleeve grow in one, and not in different directions.

It is best to tie it up during sap flow, when the sleeves and shoots are as flexible as possible. During the summer, you need to do this at least 2-3 times:

1. The first garter is carried out after all unnecessary green shoots (reaching 40-50 cm) have been broken off for the first time.
2. The second is when their length has reached 80-90 cm. You need to try to make sure that by the time the shoots begin to bloom, they have all been tied to the support and placed evenly.They need to be equally placed so that the bushes are more protected from various pests and diseases, so that photosynthesis goes well, and pollination is as effective as possible.

Shoots to the trellis must be tied obliquely.

The main mistakes gardeners make when caring for late varieties

• Often gardeners forget that it is imperative to cut off late varieties, otherwise the berries will be very small, and the bush will begin to grow strongly.
• Another mistake gardeners make in growing late varieties is the complete removal of the shelter in the spring. Do not do this, otherwise the bushes will begin to weaken.
• For some reason, many gardeners believe that when berries of late varieties are poured, they need to be watered abundantly. But it is undesirable to do this, otherwise the berries will begin to crack and die.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Question number 1. In late summer, Isabella's one-year-old seedling began to sprout in two shoots. Is it worth removing them, or is it better to form two new sleeves from them?

Such young seedlings have a weak root system, therefore, more than one sprout cannot be left, otherwise they may simply die.

Question number 2. When I first opened the vine in the spring, its young bushes looked normal, but after a couple of weeks they began to blacken and die. What went wrong?

I think the point here is in the eyes: they probably froze out or got out. Prune the dead vine to "live", and then form the arms of the bush, using new growth for this purpose.

Question number 3. For the second year in a row, as soon as spring arrives, the vine turns black. I used foliage to cover the bushes in winter. Maybe the leaves are to blame?

Yes you are right. The winter thaws wet the foliage, and because of this, the vine ripped and died. For winter shelter use only something “dry” and not wet. Reed mats are fine. Plank boxes also protect vines well from excessive moisture and cold weather.

Question number 4. I decided to plant a stalk with a sprout of the Merlot variety. He took and died. What's my mistake?

Perhaps the roots did not have time to form on the cutting. As for the sprout, it was "given birth" by plastic substances that accumulated in the cuttings. To prevent this from happening again, you need to "select" the bark in the lower part of the cutting, and then lower it into a solution of heteroauxin for 2-3 hours. This will help root formation.

Question number 5. I covered my late grape bush with plastic wrap for the winter, but in the spring it turned black and died. Is he cold?

I think he soped. Grapes are not “friendly” with plastic wrap. To use it means simply to destroy the vine: under it, it will soper during the winter thaws. It is better to cover the vine with several layers of spruce branches. Boxes made of wood or even boards are also suitable.

Beginner tips from experienced winegrowers

Do not forget that later varieties have different planting intervals depending on their purpose. Therefore, it is advisable to group them. There should be a distance of 0.8 m between the varieties of the so-called juice-wine purpose, and at least 1.5 m for the table variety.There should be at least 2 m between the rows.

If you want to increase the yield of late-ripening varieties, limit watering. It is imperative to water only young vines, and even then only during the first two years. One and a half weeks before the beginning of flowering, watering must be stopped, otherwise the color will shed, and the ripening of the crop will be greatly delayed.
