Serious mistakes gardeners make when choosing new grape varieties

Mistake # 1. Selection of a grape variety not suitable for cultivation in the given climatic zone.

Often acquiring a new variety, gardeners are held hostage by unscrupulous sellers who distribute plants that do not grow locally. At best, this will affect the quality and quantity of the harvest, but most likely the grapes will not take root.

Mistake # 2.Planting new varieties in a shared vineyard.

It is better to plant a newly acquired plant separately or keep it in quarantine. It is not known how the local "environment" will affect the new cultivar, it is better to protect it (if possible) from disease infestation.

Mistake number 3.Selection of heat-loving varieties for a zone with a harsh climate.

In this case, the main criterion is frost resistance, otherwise the grapes can only be grown in a greenhouse.
