The "comfort zone" of the grapes reveals the secrets of the climate that is suitable for the growth of grapes
Imagine walking into a vineyard, the sun shining on the vines, and the clusters of crystal clear grapes hanging on the branches, do you feel that your mood is sweeter?But did you know that grapes don't grow anywhere in this garden, and they're very picky about the climate?
When it comes to the type of climate that grapes prefer, we have to start with warm and humid. Grape is a "warm pie" by nature, and it can't stand it in a place where it's too cold. Therefore, those places with four distinct seasons, not too cold in winter, and not too hot in summer, become a paradise for grapes. For example, East China and South China are the blessed land for grape growth.
Of course, warmth is not enough, grapes are still a "moist" guy. It doesn't like dry conditions, so where there is plenty of rain, the grapes will grow more hydrated. But be careful, too much rain is not good, then the grapes are prone to disease. Therefore, it is better to have seasonal rainfall, which ensures the moisture needs of the grapes without allowing them to soak in the rain.
Speaking of the season, we have to mention another "little secret" of the grape - it is a "sunshine boy" who loves the sun!Plenty of sunlight not only makes the grapes more robust, but also sweetens the fruit. Therefore, those places with plenty of sunshine and long sunshine hours are also the "favorites" of grapes.
Speaking of this, some friends may want to ask: then our home is in the north, the climate is dry, and the winter is cold, is it impossible to grow grapes?Don't worry, although the grape prefers warm and humid conditions, that doesn't mean it can't adapt to other climates. As long as we give it a little more care and care when planting, such as choosing cold-tolerant varieties and doing a good job of keeping warm and moisturizing, the grapes can also settle down in the north.
In addition, the taste and style of grapes grown in different climates will be differentFor example, grapes grown in warm, humid regions may be sweeter and juicier;Grapes grown in dry regions are likely to be more intense and full-bodied. So, no matter what you are in, as long as you plant grapes with your heart, you can always find your sweetness and happiness!
Let's talk about the "little stories" between grapes and climate. Did you know?In fact, grapes are a very old fruit, and their ancestral roots can be traced back thousands of years to Mesopotamia. At that time, the grapes were not as "squeamish" as they are now, and they were able to survive in all kinds of difficult conditions. So, although we think of warm, humid climates when we think of grapes nowadays, grapes are actually very adaptable.
But then again, while grapes can adapt to all climates, you have to choose the right place to grow high-quality grapes. For example, the Bordeaux region of France is one of the world's most famous wine regions. The climate there is neither too cold nor too hot, just right for the grapes. This, combined with the unique soil conditions and long wine culture of the Bordeaux region, has made its wines famous all over the world.
So the question arises: what should we ordinary people do when growing grapes at home?It's actually quite simple!Start by choosing a grape variety that is suitable for the local climate;Secondly, choose a place with plenty of sunshine, good ventilation and fertile soil to plant;Finally, remember to water, fertilize and prune the branches regularly
Although the grape is a bit of a "picky" guy, as long as we understand its temper and provide it with a comfortable environment, it can reward us with bunches of crystalline, sweet and delicious fruits!So, whether you are a man in the north or a little girl in the south, as long as you plant grapes with your heart, you can always reap the sweetness and happiness that belong to you!
Under the vines, we taste the sweetness and fragrance of life, and also feel the charm and gift of nature. Let's take care of every grape with our hearts, and feel every beauty and happiness in life with our hearts!
