The first step in the process of how to grow grapes is to
have a lot of patience. Grapes can take three to four years
to grow. That's a long time if you are looking to make wine
quickly but it can be well worth it. The quality of the
grapes relies on a lot of different variables and the time
it takes for the grapes to grow just adds to the quality of
the grape itself. It is also very helpful if you know the
exact type of grape that is good to grow in your climate.
There are different grape stocks for different climates.
How to grow grapes in your climate is a question that is
best well researched before any grape stock is purchased.
You could spend years trying to grow a grape that really
wasn't suited to your climate only to find out you have
grown a lousy grape. That's a lot of years spent for
nothing. The best thing to do is talk with someone in your
local nursery for advice on which grapes will do the best
in your climate and soil. You can also ask other grape
growers in the area which grapes they prefer.
Once the variety of grape has been decided on the question
of how to grow grapes becomes once of what portion of your
property to grow them on. Grapes prefer full sun and
require access to moderate water. You need to have a place
that is exposed to both. Grapes require a lot of tending to
so you will want to have them in an area you can get water
to without much problem. The Sun is very important to if
there is any shade near the grapes you run the risk of
infecting the plants with fungus.
Some other tips in the how to grow grapes scenario is to
make sure and plant your grapes from nursery stock or
cuttings. This is the best way to get your grape crop
growing as quickly as possible. You want to make sure you
have a good solid trellis for the grapes to grow up and
around on. Grapes need a solid base to grow on. You will
begin to get fruit growth in one year and pruning is
essential. Do the pruning when the vines are dormant.
Remove brown leaves and trim long runners to keep the
grapes compact.
