1. Four steps of pruning garden grapes
Summer proves that vines are the most prosperous season. It is not only more beautiful to have a vine in the yard, but also we can eat the greenest grapes planted in our own country, enjoy the cool under the vine and recall the fun of our childhood under the vine. It's really interesting to plant vines in the yard and prune them yourself, such as sprouting, pruning, coring and so on.
1, Budweiser wipe
The most important part of how to prune garden grapes is bud wiping. Only after successful budding can the vines of the vines really grow in the direction you need. This is when the vine has just grown to 3 cm, all the delicate branches and useless hidden buds have been pinched off. When the main bud is three twin buds, only one branch bud should be left to grow.
2. Set the top and pick the heart
After wiping the bud, the tip should be fixed, that is, the vine should be fixed on the bracket it wants to climb. Now when the vine grows to 20 cm, the twigs are fixed when the inflorescence is seen. Soon after that, the core will be picked, which is a way to improve the fruit setting rate and grape size. Just leave 6 ~ 7 leaves in the initial inflorescence to pick the core.
3. Remove secondary branches and pinch off inflorescences.
After the new buds are cored, the secondary buds will grow wildly and we need to prune them. You can pinch off everything except two secondary tips at the top. 3 ~ 5 days before the grapes bloom, we should pick off the grape flowers 1/4. This will also increase the fruit yield of grape flowers.
4. Prune branches and buds
It is best to wait until the vines are in full bloom in summer and cut off all the messy new branches and buds. This is beneficial to the growth of main branches. Especially when the vines are already bearing small grapes, don't let the newly grown branches and buds absorb the nutrients that the grapes want to absorb. It is necessary to constantly cut off the new branches with tendrils.
2. Two pruning times of grapes: 1 and summer pruning.
In fact, there are usually two opportunities for grape pruning. One is pruning the vines in summer, when the grapes grow most vigorously. Because at this time, the vines have begun to bear small grapes. If not pruned in time, the nutrients of the grapes will be absorbed by the new buds, and more nutrients will be absorbed. In this case, the grapes will not only become smaller, but also the yield will be small.
2. Winter scissors
Many people don't understand that vines are bare in winter, and it seems useless to cut vines at this time. In fact, it is necessary to cut vines in winter. It can also help vines hibernate. After the fallen leaves are cut off, the vines can enter the real hibernation. Only in this way can the vines grow better in spring.
And because grapes will sprout in spring, if some extra branches and buds are not cut off in winter and some new buds are regenerated in spring, vines will grow to the sky! The so-called winter pruning, in fact, is to try to keep only the main vines and a small number of winter buds of grapes, which is convenient for nutrition concentration, and then try to grow the most suitable new buds in spring.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a full understanding of how to prune garden grapes. Do you want to plant a garden grape in your yard, too? Come and have a try!
