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.
