Can grapes be transplanted in winter?

If the grapes are grown in a greenhouse, they can be transplanted in winter. If they are grown in the open field, it is best to do it around the spring equinox, which is in February or March, because the sap of the grape tree has begun to flow at this time, but it has not yet reached the normal growth state. The ground temperature is also relatively stable at this time, and the survival rate of transplanting will be higher.

Winter transplanting method of grapes

1. Soil selection

Grape seedlings are highly adaptable to soil, but it is recommended to use sandy loam that is loose, fertile, has good permeability and drainage, and is rich in organic matter.

2. Seedling selection

It is recommended to choose seedlings with good growth and try to choose varieties with strong cold resistance. When choosing seedlings, you should also be careful not to choose seedlings with diseases, pests, and mechanical damage.

3. Transplant

Grapes have a greater demand for fertilizer after transplanting, so sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied before transplanting. You can put rotted chicken manure at the bottom of the pit for transplanting the grape trees. After putting the transplanted grape seedlings in, you can use the soil evenly mixed with chicken manure to fill the garden soil and then water them.

Grape transplanting precautions

It should be noted that the roots of the grape seedlings cannot come into direct contact with the base fertilizer. After transplanting, they must be watered thoroughly. After the soil surface is dry, the soil must be loosened with a hoe. This will ensure that there is sufficient moisture in the soil. Before germination and flowering, there is no need to water or fertilize.
