Care
Plant your grapes 15 to 20 feet apart in full sun with well-draining soil. Grapes have a vining growth habit, meaning that they require a trellis or other surface to support new growth. Our grapes that are mature enough come with a trellis already in the pot. This variety of grape can spread 15 to 20 feet, so providing an additional trellis or surface for the vines to grow and regular pruning is integral. The best time to prune your grape vines is while they are dormant. While pruning, remove older branches to prevent shading of grapes and to keep the vine productive. Water your grapes regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering.
