Afus-Ali is a white table grape variety originating from Asia Minor. It is one of the highest quality and most widely cultivated table grape varieties. Afus-Ali tolerates transport very well and can be stored in refrigerated conditions for up to 60 days. It is economically the most important variety locally, as Afus-Ali grapes enjoy strong market demand and are commonly sold until late winter due to their excellent storage properties.
The berry pulp has a very pleasant and sweet flavor.
The cluster is large, weighing between 250 and 550 grams, elongated, often branched, loose or moderately compact. Occasionally, clusters can exceed 1 kg. The peduncle is long. Berries are slightly elongated, yellow-green, with amber tones on the sun-exposed side. The skin is thick and integrated with the firm, crisp pulp.
Self-pollinating.
Afus Ali is very sensitive to low temperatures. It is not particularly susceptible to powdery mildew, but heavy rains can cause damage in wet years. The variety is generally disease-resistant.
You can purchase seedlings of Afus Ali grape at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
The depth of the pit is 40-50 cm, and the width is 30-40 cm.
First, a 5-6 cm layer of loose, fertile soil is placed at the bottom of the pit.
Cut the root of the vine seedling to 10 to 12 cm from the main stem (substrate).
Insert the vine seedling into the hole at an angle of 45°. The connection point of the coil should be 2-3 cm above the ground surface.
Once the seedling is placed in the hole, a layer of crumbly, fertile, and moderately moist soil is spread over the roots. The applied soil layer is then firmly pressed down.
The graft is supported by hand below the grafting point so that it does not move during pressing and compacting.

After the pressing and compacting of the soil is completed, the seedling is watered with 5 liters of water.
Then the remaining upper part of the hole is filled with a mixture of soil and organic fertilizer. The soil is first mixed with well-rotted manure, and then this mixture is poured into the hole and firmly compacted by pressing.
In autumn planting, apply finely crumbled soil over the planted seedling and form a mound so that only 1–2 cm of the branches remain exposed. The mound protects the seedling from freezing during the winter.
In spring planting, it is not necessary to form a mound.
