Grapes in the garden are used not only for harvesting, but also as a decorative vine. The plant grows well and creates shaded areas, makes landscaping for gazebos, arches. In order for the grapes to maintain their appearance until the next season, you need to prune them and organize protection from low temperatures.

How to prepare

Start with young annual plants. On them, you need to trim the unripe parts of the vine. They are easy to identify by touch, because they are so colder. Of course, young vines are green.

Next, we move on to two-year-old vines. Count 4 buds on each of them. They should be left, and everything above should be cut off.

The next to be treated are three-year-old bushes. They will have 4 strong vines. On these, 8 buds should be left. Everything else falls under the pruner.

Processing and sheltering

When the first stage of care is completed, you can proceed to treating the vines. To do this, make a solution of iron sulfate with a concentration of 3%. This is a reliable and proven remedy that is equally effective against many diseases.

You need to cover the grapes only if the air temperature drops below zero. Until then, they can be outdoors. At temperatures of -3 degrees, cover the plant with spunbond so that it can survive the winter comfortably.
