The site for creating a grape should be chosen sunny, with a predominance of sandy and loamy soil. It is best to plant seedlings on a small hill.

For the harvest to be favorable, it is necessary to follow the rules of agricultural technology. And fulfill them in a timely manner.

Before buying a seedling, it must be inspected - it must be with a well-developed root system, it must not have any plaque or pus on it. It is necessary that there are at least 2 basal buds and several strong shoots.

The holes must be formed with a depth of 0.5-0.8 m and a width of 0.5 m. Drainage is laid out on the bottom, and a layer of soil fertilized with nitrogen is poured on top of it. Superphosphate can be added for growth. Then a seedling is planted and covered with earth. It is necessary to leave the root collar above ground level, otherwise the seedling will not bear fruit. The ground around the vines is compacted, and the bushes are plentifully shed. After that, you can mulch the ground around the bushes.

Crimson ringing grapes have flowers of both sexes, does not require additional pollination.

Spring pruning is necessary in order to remove all frozen branches, those that have broken or have not regained color after some time.

Summer pruning is carried out to remove excess shoots that have begun to grow in the wrong direction. Leaves are harvested at the base of the vine, thinned around the bunches so that they do not block the sunlight.

Autumn pruning is carried out after all the leaves have fallen. All vines that have fruited, have been damaged by disease, or have broken during fruiting under the weight of the bunches are removed.

The hybrid has a winter hardiness of -23 degrees, which makes it possible not to cover the vines in the southern regions. In the northern regions, it would be best to cover the bushes so that the vines do not freeze.
