Grapes in Austin
Hi,
I planted a few grape plants I picked up cheap at Wal-Mart last summer. They were nearly dried out so I didn't pay much for them. They didn't grow much last year, and I was afraid they would just die. They didn't and came back this spring and are now "all over the place". They are growing like crazy climbing on the fence around my pool. However, they have no grapes on them. When can I expect them to fruit for the first time? Are there things I need to do to make them set fruit like pruning or something? -- //ceed |

I suspect they only get rainwater. -sw I recall reading somewhere that grapes that don't get enough water tend to be sour. I'm not 100% sure tho'. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

ink.net: Grapes need to flower first. Yes of course. All fruit needs to flower first I guess. So for the record, there hasn't been any flowers. I read somewhere that grapes only bear fruit on older (last years) growth. Could that be the problem since there's no last years growth on these plants? They were a stick with a couple of leaves on them poking out of a plastic bag when I bought and planted them last year. -- //ceed |
