To grow a healthy bush and get a high-quality harvest, you need to know about some of the nuances of growing.

The plant is planted in sunny places, protected from cold and strong winds. For example, this can be the southern wall of a building or a fence facing south. The soil must be well-drained. If there is a slope on the territory, the plant should be planted on a gentle southern or southwestern slope.

The flowers are bisexual, requiring no additional pollinators nearby.

Timely and correct pruning should be carried out, otherwise the fruits of the grapes will be small, and the bush will be overgrown.In the year of planting, you do not need to cut the plant, you just need to remove the unripe green parts of the shoots in the autumn. From the age of 3, the shoots are pruned.

It is recommended to carry out autumn pruning not before the leaves fall or the night temperatures are below zero. Most often, the bushes are pruned in early October.

Young seedlings are watered for the first 2 years. Bushes that bear fruit are watered in the fall. 7-10 days before the beginning of the flowering period, watering stops, since excess liquid can cause shedding of flowers, contributes to a delay in the ripening of berries.

Do not use the sprinkling method, as this can provoke disease damage to the plant. It is necessary to arrange a drainage channel and place an irrigation pipe on the side of the road between the rows. From the base of the bush to the system should be about 20-50 cm.

When planting, fertilizers are placed in the pit, which are enough for the plant for several years. When the bush becomes mature and begins to bear fruit, it will need nutrients.
