How to propagate grape cuttings

We need to expand the vineyard? Or want to share cuttings with neighbors, friends? Use cuttings. In many respects, they are simpler and more reliable seedlings from the market. About the price can not speak. The best part is that the grapes are propagated by cuttings under any force, and if they will take root more than I would like – it will be possible to replenish the family budget, attributing the surplus to the market. There are good varieties apart in a moment!





When

Time to prepare the cuttings is perhaps the most important. Happen, had to propagate vines from random scraps and the "squiggles". Often, they take root better than cuttings right.

Usually cuttings are cut during trimming. In the Middle lane – in October, South in November. Southerners even have a rule to wait for the fall foliage. However, this memorable moment never occurs, and therefore the end of the leaf I think the loss of foliage from the first frost.

At this time, begin to pruning, and this is the best time for grafting, as the vines maximize matured and garnered the greatest number of nutrients.

Why cut the cuttings in autumn? Isn't it better to cut fresh in the spring and then plant them? Yes, indeed, this can be done in the area pokrivenik vineyards. But sometimes in the winter the temperature drops below -200 C, and shelter for the winter mats and earth does not guarantee the safety of eyes and kidneys from mold and mechanical damage. So it is better to stock up in the fall.



What

Harvest only matured. Herbaceous, greenish, etc. – is not suitable. But brown vines can also be not ripe. Experienced growers can distinguish Mature from immature – uniform, conforming to the class coloring without spots. When gently bending the vine has a little crackle.

If the variety is in short supply, very expensive or there are just a few of the cuttings (sometimes, the price of one eye – 200-1000 rubles!), before buying, use iodine.

If to paint a cross section of ripened escape 1% iodine solution – get dark purple color, not ripe – yellow.

It is still very important to harvest the cuttings from the most productive bushes, without deviation and the slightest signs of viral infections. Avoid cutting the shanks fattening shoots with long, characteristic varieties internodes, a large amount of pith, and shoots, damaged by disease and hail.

How long

It is best to keep a 50-centimeter cuttings. Exactly centimeter in centimeter do not need – we have still not mathematics. Enough on the eyes. Just the standard length of the cutting at planting are considered to be 25 see the storage tips they dry, podgniet. Have to cut, remove bad parts – that will be required of 20-30 cm

It's okay if perepalo cuttings short. In the end, the grapes are propagated by cuttings and odnoglazoe, and they are normally accustomed.

Although if you plan to plant the cuttings immediately in a permanent place – easy to cut with a length equal to the depth of planting, up to 50-60 cm.

Cut from the Bush shoots should be cleaned from the remnants of leaves, laterals, and tendrils fine not ripe the tops, tie them at the upper and lower end of the twine into bundles, which are attached to a water-resistant label indicating the class. Such bundles (fascines) are suitable for long term storage. published
