Growing grapes

Although grapes are adaptable, is is nonetheless important to select varieties suitable to your growing area.

• Grape vines require deep, slightly acidic, well-drained soil and full sun. Soil that is too rich promotes vegetative growth instead of fruiting.
• Vines bear fruit two to three years after planting two year old canes. They should be spaced 6 feet apart.
• For best results, prune according to the variety of grape planted. Regular pruning, vine training, fruit thinning and feeding are necessary.
