prepared seedlings should be located near the support installed in the center of the landing pit;
it is impossible to deepen the seedling too much, the root neck should remain after filling the root system above the soil surface.

Many winegrowers in the southern regions and areas with fairly mild winters grow Timur without shelter, noting its high winter hardiness.

How to plant grapes in spring

The form has some problems with the instability of pollination, in addition, in some years you can observe a slight peeling on the grape brushes. The lack of natural precipitation in the summer and the lack of adherence to agricultural techniques often provoke the fineness of this hybrid form.
