We started growing grapes last year. The variety is Chardonnay.
We will be planting saplings on the ranch over the next few years, but we are asking Marukan Farm in Nagai City, Yamagata Prefecture for the saplings.
There are almost a few farmers in Japan who can grow grape seedlings.
It was my second visit following the year before last, but I was able to make new discoveries.
The most important thing in grafting is to create a strong rootstock.
At Marukan Farm, we planted different varieties that go well with each other depending on the region and variety on the vast farmland.
On the same day, I found an acquaintance in the seedling orderer list.
Since the order will be over two years from now, we will have to place an order for seedlings scheduled for April 2023 in early autumn this year, so we will proceed with confirming the field.
