Plant Care Information
Top Tips
Before planting, select a site with full sun or at least morning sun - light shade in the afternoon is fine - and ensure that a support is in place for the grapevine to grow up.
Dig over your planting site thoroughly and incorporate some well rotted compost, removing all weeds.
For each vine, dig a planting hole 12 inches deep and 12 inches wide. Fill with 4 inches of topsoil and set the vine into the hole slightly deeper than it grew in the nursery. Cover the roots with 6 inches of soil and firm down well. Fill with the remaining soil, but leave it loose.
Prune the top back to two or three buds and water in well.
Care Information
- In the first couple of years, your vine should not be allowed to fruit so that it can strengthen its root system and produce better crops in the coming years.
Pruning
- Prune annually in late November-December and don’t be afraid to remove up to 90% of the previous season’s growth - the more you prune, the more grapes you will have.
- In the first year, cut back all buds except for 2 or 3. Then, select a couple of strong canes and cut back the rest. Make sure the remaining canes are fastened to the support.
- In the second year, prune back all canes. Leave a couple of buds on each of the arms. Remove flower clusters as they form.
General
- Do not feed in the first year and feed lightly in the second year of growth.
- Mulch well in winter to retain moisture, and you may wish to use netting to keep birds away from the grapes as they grow.
