Transplanting grapes is not difficult
The desire to transplant a grape bush may well arise from the owners of a suburban area. The reasons for this may be different - perhaps a bush that grew old before, and should be replaced with a new one, or perhaps you just need to eliminate the thinning in the garden.
An experienced gardener is unlikely to transplant an adult grape bush. The easiest way is to cut the cuttings, create such conditions for their growth that they will begin to bear fruit literally the next year after planting. The resulting plant is young and promising in terms of yield, healthy. It is much easier to work with cuttings than with an old plant.
But if, nevertheless, you decide to use an adult bush, then you can not worry - transplanting grapes is not difficult, usually even cuttings that do not have roots take root without problems. And when transplanting a bush with a well-developed root system, most likely there will be no special problems.
How is the grape transplant done?
- The first condition is that only those transplanted bushes that are less than 5 years old can bear fruit well.
- When transplanting, a long exposure of bare roots in the open air, especially in the sun, should be avoided.
- Plants transplanted with a large clod of earth on the roots take root best. Experts suggest using special devices when transplanting old grape bushes to prevent the soil from lagging behind the roots when digging up the bush.
