Fig
Grape
growing is experiencing renewed popularity in home gardens! And why not? Not
only are grapes wonderful for eating, juicing, and winemaking, but they are
also a beautiful ornamental plant.
Care
Instructions
Plant in full sun to provide the adequate heat required to
ripen the fruit. Sandy soil is preferred because it’s well-drained and contains
a moderate amount of nutritious organic matter and generally lies within the
preferred pH range. Applying water deeply and thoroughly filling the root
zone with water is an ideal way to irrigate. Annual pruning in late winter is
very important to keep growth healthy each year and ensure optimal fruit
production. Grape vines will need to be trained to grow upwards, which can
either be done by planting the vine on an arbor or along a fenceline.
