Description and subtleties of growing Lorano grapes

Some winegrowers grow hybrid varieties of berries on their plots. The most popular is the Lorano grape hybrid, which is known for its high yield. However, before planting it, it is necessary to understand its distinctive characteristics and growing habits.

History of selection

Lorano is a famous Ukrainian variety, which was bred on the territory of Ukraine by local breeder A.V. Burdak. The plant was created specifically for gardeners from the northern regions who could not grow many varieties of grapes. Therefore, Burdak decided to create a variety that would cope with severe frosts. He succeeded, since Lorano is resistant to low temperatures and grows well in Siberia and the Urals.

Description and characteristics of Lorano grapes

Before planting, you need to understand the characteristics of Laurent and its description.

Appearance of the bush

The vineyards grow voluminous and tall, with well-ripened shoots. Due to its tall growth, the plant must be tied to additional supports, which can be metal or wooden arches. The foliage is quite large and bright green.

In summer, clusters of berries weighing up to two kilograms appear on the branches of Lorano. The color of ripe berries is purple, with a slight blue tint. Moreover, the pulp itself is not purple, but creamy in color.

Taste and purpose

People who plan to plant Lorano are interested in its taste. Ripe grapes are not crispy and quite juicy. They have a sweetish-sour taste, as they contain acids and sugar. The calorie content of berries per hundred grams is one hundred kilocalories, and therefore the variety is suitable for people on a diet.

The harvested crop is versatile, as it can be used both for fresh consumption and for further canning.

Main advantages and disadvantages

Lorano has a number of advantages and disadvantages that you need to familiarize yourself with before planting it.The main advantages of grape bushes include:

The main disadvantage of Laurent is that it needs a lot of moisture, without which the crop will not ripen.

How to grow crops correctly

Before planting seedlings, you need to familiarize yourself with planting tips.

Choosing a landing site

First you need to find a suitable place for further cultivation of vineyards. It is recommended to select well-lit places, as sunlight promotes the ripening of the crop. Also, the site must be reliably protected from gusts of wind, which can break the grape branches.

Therefore, it is better to plant grapes in gardens surrounded by a fence.

Preparation of planting material

Also, before planting, it is necessary to first prepare the planting material. All seedlings are immersed in water for 15-20 hours to soak. This is done to strengthen the root system of the seedlings, as well as to help them take root better in a new place. It is not recommended to use water that is too cold, as low temperatures can negatively affect the plant.

Landing technique

Before planting, a planting hole 40-45 centimeters deep is created in advance. Its bottom is filled with a nutrient solution consisting of a kilogram of peat, two kilograms of humus and one hundred grams of superphosphate. This mixture should be infused for 7-10 days, after which they begin planting. The seedling is carefully placed in the planting hole, after which it is covered with soil and watered.

Features of caring for the variety

A planted vineyard must be properly cared for so that it bears fruit well.

Watering and fertilizing

Grapes are considered a moisture-loving plant that must be moistened regularly. Without sufficient moisture, Lorano will bear fruit worse. Experienced winegrowers advise watering seedlings 2-3 times a week. In this case, watering is carried out in the evening, when there is no sun. Also, seedlings must be fed regularly so that they have enough nutrients for normal growth.

Trimming

The amount of ripened harvest directly depends on how correctly the grape bush was pruned. Experienced winegrowers advise carrying out pruning work in early spring, after the end of winter frosts.

The stems must be trimmed carefully so as not to accidentally damage neighboring branches.

Preparing for winter

Planted grapes must be prepared in advance for the onset of winter cold. To do this, in the fall it is covered with spruce branches and covered with dry grass. This flooring reliably protects the root system of the vineyard from low temperatures.

Protection from diseases and pests

If Laurano is not sprayed periodically, it will begin to hurt and dry out. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly treat it with fungicidal agents and Bordeaux mixture. Spraying is carried out in the evening, when the sun has completely set, so as not to accidentally burn the surface of the foliage.

Collection and storage

Ripe grapes are harvested in mid-August, when all the berries are fully ripe. They are picked by hand or carefully cut with scissors. Trimmed brushes are stored in a dark and cool place to prevent them from deteriorating longer.

Many gardeners want to grow Lorano grapes. However, before doing this, you should understand the characteristics of the variety, as well as the peculiarities of its planting on the site.
