Grapes are large, climbing, fruiting shrubs. Vines can grow up to 30-40 m. They tried to cultivate it in Russia in the 15th century, however, due to the cold climate, the berries did not ripen, and the plants died. And only in the time of Peter I these attempts were crowned with success. Then viticulture became widespread - the culture was planted in greenhouses. Now, thanks to the efforts of modern breeders, every gardener can get an excellent harvest.

The history of the creation of the variety

The variety in Memory of Dombkovskaya was bred by the vineyard Shatilov F.I. in the 80s of the twentieth century. Zarya Severa and unique Kishmish were chosen as parental couples. The first variety endowed him with immunity to diseases and the harsh climate, and the second - delicious, seedless berries.

You can find other names for this grape:

  • ChBZ (black seedless winter hardy).

The variety Pamyati Dombkovskaya was entered into the State Register of Breeding Achievements only in 2006.

Planting and leaving

Grape Academic

The variety is recommended for cultivation in areas with a harsh climate, up to the zone of risky farming. BCHZ grapes are picky about watering and soil fertility. Feels good on loamy and black earth soil. The soil should be neutral acidity (pH 7).

It is important! If the groundwater is close to the surface, it is better to arrange drainage.

ChBZ grapes begin to bear fruit already in the 2nd year after planting.The yield is gradually increasing, and after 2-3 years it reaches its maximum.

A sunny site is chosen for growing. To ensure sufficient illumination, the vineyard is located at a distance of 5.5-6.5 m from various buildings.

You need to plant plants as follows:

  • Prepare a pit about 1.5 m deep;
  • Put a gravel drainage on the bottom, sprinkle it with peat or humus on top;
  • Straighten the rhizome, put the plant in a hole, carefully cover it with earth;
  • Seal the soil, pour warm water;
  • Mulch with freshly cut grass.

Sunny vineyard

The optimal frequency of crop feeding is 3 times per season:

  • During the opening of the kidneys;
  • When ovaries appear;
  • After harvest.

You should not do this more often, otherwise greens will begin to actively develop, and not grapes. The culture is fed with organic and inorganic fertilizers.

Note! In the process of cultivation, it is necessary to remove weeds in time, especially perennial species. They have a powerful root system that inhibits the development of grapes.

Young plants need a sufficient amount of moisture - 15 liters per 1 copy. They are watered 2 times a week. For adults, the frequency is reduced to 1 time in 7 days, but the amount of water is increased - up to 35 liters, depending on weather conditions. In August, watering is carried out only 3 times a month.

Over the summer, the vine can grow up to 5 meters, but the berries ripen perfectly along the entire length. Circumcision is performed periodically. This is done in different ways - they leave the whole vine or 6-8 buds and fix the bushes with a fan. Shoots should not be overloaded, otherwise the berries will become sour.

Watering the grapes

The grapes of Memory of Dombkovskaya are sometimes affected by insect pests:

  • Grape (felt) mite - feeds on the cell sap of plants, which leads to a significant decrease in yield. Control measures - removing weeds, cutting and burning affected foliage, using pesticides;
  • Wasps - break the integrity of the berries, as a result of which they rot. To destroy them, place special traps around the perimeter of the site and remove the nests.

The ChBZ grape variety is usually propagated by cuttings. Planting can be done in autumn, starting in mid-September, or in spring. Cuttings root easily, and in order to further increase this indicator, they are soaked in solutions of growth regulators (heteroauxin - 100 mg / l, indolylbutyric acid - 50 mg / l). Preparations must be used in strict accordance with the instructions.

When buying a grape seedling, you should pay attention to such parameters as:

  • The minimum height of the aboveground part is 20-25 cm, 2-3 formed leaves;
  • The length of the rhizome is about 20 cm. It must be protected from drying out;
  • No signs of disease or pests.

Propagated by cuttings

It is better to refuse to purchase small or diseased plants.
