    The only pests I have a problem with on my grape vines is Racoons! Those buggers can strip all the ripe grapes over night while you are sleeping.

      Fabric toole is what saved my grapes for me to harvest. I'm not sure it would stand up to raccoons, but worth a try.

    I have a very very old Concord grape in my yard that’s been there since I moved in back in 93. I can’t kill it here in northern Utah. I even totally neglected it the last 3-4 years and despite that it has completely taken over my backyard fence. Judging by the size of the main stem it’s probably 40-50 years old at this point and could even be a cutting from the original vineyard that was here before they built the house in 1950.

    I usually work on the leader the first year. If they have offshoots I can get to the rungs. I set that up. But to me the first year is more about setting up a strong good leader. The second & third seasons are to set up the rungs. I'm not expecting a harvest until season 4. I do allow it to fruit some in season #3. But.. you don't really get good qualities until season 4.
    Also note. Some insects like wasps eat grapes. Deer love grapes. You will have to defend your grapes. Be prepared for that. Sometimes people go without issues. But.. my area I have to defend mine.

    Luke,
    I have a Seedless Concord that has gone rather wild. I'd be very interested in learning how to best prune the established branches to a trellis both for looks & productive value.
    Thank you. 😊

    • @christineedwards4865
      @christineedwards4865 3 дні тому +1

      You're more than likely going to need to cut it way back so you can control the form and attach it to the trellis as it grows new shoots. The positive side is that the plant probably already has a well established root system, so it should grow much faster than a new store bought plant.

  • @joesqudy

    I wish you could see the beautiful grape trellis that I made out of cut branches. And one of my grapevines I actually started from seed about five years ago and after planting and buying an additional grape plant, they’re both doing beautifully over my gorgeous, rustic, looking grape arbor. I wish I could share a photo with you. It’s just so beautiful full of vines and this year. I’m getting both red and white grapes. 🍇

  • @gangofgreenhorns2672
    @gangofgreenhorns2672 21 день тому +3

    I look for a single stem grape to just continue the leader, ones split that low can still be used, but I would just let the other leader be back up and stripped if it isn't tall enough to attach to the trellis.

  • @farmermarshall
    @farmermarshall 21 день тому +3

    I planted some muscadine grapes from seed. The seeds were from some muscadines grapes that we got from the grocery store. I planted them in the corner of my vegetable garden's fence. I only add a few gallons of cow manure around them in the spring. They have produce like crazy! Never had pest or bird problems even though I have found bird nest in it every year.
    I barely prune them. The only time I heavily pruned them I had a bad harvest.
    Luke's advice is solid but I guess muscadine grapes are just different.

  • @jeannamcgregor9967
    @jeannamcgregor9967 21 день тому +3

    I think it's important to point out that many fruiting perennials like grapes (or fruit trees) are more likely to fruit profusely on horizontal branches or vines. Trellising makes a big difference in the harvest size! 💚

    Nice video on grapes. I like using a little sprinkle of clean wood ash around mine. It takes about 4 seasons to get them established and producing but it's well worth the wait. Most of my vines are catawba. I have one native riparia that came up in a flood zone on my property. The rabbits ate it to the ground every year so I moved it into the fenced garden.

      You could prune it for air flow by making thinning cuts to help prevent disease problems. It doesn't need to have a nice symmetrical form to be an amazing producer, it's just more convenient for consistency and ease of harvest.

      Were they still in the original pots, kept well watered or maybe slightly overwatered and left out in the sun? The store bought plants around me are in some type of soilless sawdust media (possibly mushroom compost?) and as soon as I get them I have to shake out as much of that media as I can from the roots and mix it into my own potting soil, because any plants that get left in that stuff too long end up getting root rot because it holds too much water. The sad part is, if they added perlite or something for drainage, so many more plants would die at the stores from not getting watered enough.
