Which month is suitable for planting grape seedlings?

The most suitable planting period for grape seedlings is March to April in spring and October to November in autumn. Autumn and winter are the best time periods for planting grape seedlings. Grape seedlings should be planted before the Chinese New Year as much as possible, which means they are planted one year in advance. However, if they are planted in spring, they are planted one year later, so planting in spring does not have as many advantages as planting in autumn and winter.

Grape seedling planting method

1. Select seedlings: Select high-quality grape seedlings that are strong, have well-developed root systems, have full branches and buds, and are free of diseases and insect pests. If you want the grape seedlings to bear fruit in the second year, it is best to plant them in autumn.

2. Planting environment: Grapes are a plant that requires a lot of light and is very suitable for growing in sandy soil. Therefore, when planting grape seedlings, the first thing to consider is sandy loam land facing the sun.

Grape seedling planting points

1. Fertilization: Please note that when planting grape seedlings, base fertilizer and topdressing are necessary. Their role is to guarantee or compensate for the nutrients needed for grape growth, and to prevent diseases and pests. The fertilizers needed are mainly phosphorus, potassium, boron, urea and other fertilizers.

2. Pruning: In November, the grape leaves begin to turn yellow and fall off. In cold areas, soil must be covered on the roots of the trees to prevent the vines from freezing to death. In order to slow down the aging of the vines and control the yield of the vines, pruning must be carried out from winter to March of the following year.
