Vine nursery

modern mulch film nursery with freshly trained grafted vines

A nursery (sometimes vines School ) is in viticulture - similar to the nursery in horticulture - an installation for rearing of rooted cuttings, especially young grafted vines , their preparation for field conditions and review of their finishing places .

With a careful supply of nutrients and pest control, the vines are only grafted in the course of the summer and then trained again in November. The seedlings are then virus-free if possible and should grow well.
