Types of breeding of wild grapes

The reproduction of wild grapes with cuttings

The easiest and most accessible method of breeding the virgin grape is the rooting of the cuttings. Even if you do not have a single plant, you can ask some of the "landing material" from a neighbor or find overhable bushes within the city, forest stitch or other place.

Best rooted cuttings are rooted. It is enough that there were 3 healthy green kidneys on the cutken, the maximum 5. We take a branch with a pencil thick and cut it into segments of 25 - 30 cm long. The main condition is the presence of a proper kidney. Then the pockets of the pocket with a depth of 7 - 10 cm and cheer the cuttings so that at least 2 kidney remains under the earth, and the rest over the ground.

Important! After landing, the cuttings water. If summer is too roast, then we water the plants until we see that it actively grows. They also need to be covered by the sun, building a shadow.

The step between the plants should be 1.5 - 2 m. If the maiden grapes grown for a living hedge, this is quite enough. Wait a couple of years and it will turn off all free space. The cuttings are easily leaving both in spring and autumn, and even in the summer.

Reproduction of wild grapes seeds

Seeds plant at a depth of up to 1 cm. Earth should be loose and fertile. It is better to do this in the fall or in the spring. If seed seeds in the spring, then they must be hardening. To do this, make them up for 1 - 5 hours in cold water, then wrap in a cotton cloth and put in the refrigerator for a week.

The reproduction of the virgin grape seeds is a rather troublesome business.

• First, not in all regions the fruits manage to grow up to the beginning of frosts so much so that they were ready-made seeds.
• Secondly, the mature seeds need stratification within 2 - 3 months.
• Thirdly, why are the extra efforts, if the cuttings are so wonderful.

Reproduction of wild grape root siblings

Also, for example, if you did not follow, and the maiden grapes itself crawled on the ground, rooting, you can dig the processes and sear where you need. Just do not forget to leave the root neck from above.

Breeding wild grapes

Root offspring are easily formed from liana with kidneys. It is enough to take the girlish grapes whip, decompose it on Earth and in places where there are kidneys, shop on a small depth. Create Lian in this position using studs. After several polishes from the kidneys, the roots will begin to form.

Wild grape landing material

If the lack of part of the parties is not frightened, try to grow it on your site, especially to do it very easily.

Parthenocssisus (the correct name of the virgin grape) is breeding in the main cuttings and tanks. It is so simple and effectively that almost no one resorts to other breeding methods - except in special cases. You can roighten the cuttings and chainsing almost the entire season: from early spring, not even waiting for the deployment of leaves, and before autumn, while the weather allows you to mess around with the ground.

Saplings of wild grapes

When choosing a place for landing, you need to know that the girl grapes is not particularly demanding soil. In addition, he can grow on any side of the hedge: South, Northern, Eastern or Western. Of course, from the Western and Northern side, the leaves may be small, and their color will not change up to the most frosts. Full grapes grow on the sunny side.

It is customary to plant maiden grapes in spring - in April and May. Also planted grapes and autumn: in September, October. Before boarding the soil you need to switch.

In a dry summer, it is worth paying special attention to watering the young seedling of the virgin grapes. Usually a pit for grapes make a half-meter in depth and width, but much depends on the size of the roots.

At the bottom of the pit it is recommended to lay out drainage from broken bricks, sand, rubble and peat complex. If this way is to fix the pit, as well as deposit other fertilizers, then several years after the landing can generally forget about feeding.

When landing the root neck should be placed at the soil level. The distance between different grape seedlings should also be 50 cm.

Wild grapes cuttings

One of the adopted methods of reproduction of the virgin grapes - grapes and cuttings.

If you, for example, saw a handsome girlish grapes from the neighbors, then you can ask for a drag or buy seedlings right in place. Then they just need to plant.

• If you take on the reproduction of cuttings, then at first cut them so that there are several (from 4) healthy kidneys on each branch. When landing, two kidneys should remain over the ground, and two under it.
• Next, you should cover the cuttings from the scorching sun and do not forget to water. It is believed that the weathered cuttings are suitable better than others. It is necessary to harvest them in the spring when the juice movement has not yet begun.
• The reproduction of long stem cuttings is slightly more complicated. Initially, the two-meter escape is cut off from an adult plant and burst into the ground to a depth of 2 cm. It should be regularly water.
• When the roots appear on the nodules, the cuttings are divided into several pieces. Each cutlets are planted separately from each other. The distance must be at least 30 cm. The landing cannot be carried out into a strong heat.
• In the spring and at the beginning of the summer, the virgin grapes take on the cuttings last year's overweight escape. The parties are rooted faster, where the roots are already there in the nodes in the form of small processes. Although the rest are also suitable. The rootability of parthenocissus is almost 100% - without the use of stimulants.
• Cut the whip on the letters with 2-4 knots. Cuttings are ready.
• If we take the cuttings in the middle of the summer, by this time the side shoots are already growing from the nodes of last year's whores. When their base begins to tree, you can get a stalk already from each node last year's vaccine vintage. Such cuttings are called tremendous.
• If nodes are brought closer, you can take cuttings for 2-3 knots. A seedlove will succeed in thick: shoots will go from each node.

According to the gardeners, whose grapes are already growing in the area, landing it looks simple: it's enough to stick in the ground a stalk and pour it out, and then the plant will develop yourself, just have time to trim the extralast.

Girl grapes easily gives roots, if you just put the cuttings into the water. But the "water" roots of wood plants usually do not function after transplanting to the ground: they will die and replace constant. For Parthenocissus, this is not a problem, it will breathe well adaptation. But the time spent in a jar with water will be practically wasted for the plant. Therefore, putting cuttings in the water makes sense only if in the near future you do not have the opportunity to plant them. It is more correct to plant them right away.

• You can multiply the girl grapes, rooting the cuttings immediately in a permanent place. But it makes sense to act if the landing site is separated from the rest of the space or border, and there is an opportunity to water well and pour the entire landing area. In the first 2-3 years, the above-ground part of the maiden grapes will grow very slowly, shoots will start actively growing only when the roots leave about a meter depth. And at first parthenocissus saplings will be lost for a long time among weeds. They can be accidentally pulling out, throw or flood.
• You can land the cuttings for breeding on a layout bed, but in the garden, the girl grapes falls into a solid tangle next year: when the roots and the screens are changed, it will be difficult to disassemble.
• Therefore, the most practical way is to root and in the first year to keep plants in individual pots. The pot is better to take more: 12-15 cm in diameter.
• Cuttings for reproduction of ivy can be cut off at any time by choosing twigs with 4-5 healthy kidneys.
• Save the cuttings into containers, in a non-acid peat with the addition of sand (1/4).
• Spring cuttings (without leaves) will blow the lower knot, in the summer - segment of last year's wood completely.
• Put the support in each container, leaving the leaves and pour.
• In this state, leave the pot with cuttings until next year. All they need is regular watering. Find them the place in the shade and coolness (but without wind) so that the soil does not drive too fast.
• It will be possible to plant plants for a permanent place next year from April to August (not in the hottest weeks). If next year the landing does not happen, then the girl grapes will flip in containers and the second winter. Highly abandoned shoots can be shortened so that they do not confuse, in the fall.
• Checking the pot for the winter is optional. The roots of the virgin grape is relatively resistant to the frost. Find for seedlings a secluded place where there will be no ice wind and where it does not blow it up. If you doubt whether plants are correctly located on the winter, submitted to the walls of the containers dry leaves and cover all this to spring inverted vegetable boxes. So the plants will not be frozen.

For those who love to do everything in detail, we will tell in order how to grow girlfriend grapes:

• dig in a suitable place to the hole of the desired size under the cutting;
• mix the soil from the pit with compost and sand, add two handfulness of fertilizers;
• make a drainage layer on the bottom (broken brick, crushed stone or large sand);
• top pour part of the soil;
• place the cuttings in the pit under a slight slope;
• pull the sapling of the remaining soil;
• form the irrigation hole so that atmospheric precipitates can be delayed;
• felice grapes;
• for a small plant, you can make a support or to suspend the wire so that the Ivy is easier to climb up.
