The haze on the grapes and apples is called a waxy cuticle it protects the fruit from drying out

Hey Harrison. I knew it had to have something to do with protecting the fruit, but had no idea what it was called. Thanks for the information!

Dwayne, could you guys do a video about how you water throughout the year on your farm? I could use some input on amount and frequency. What systems work best between trees, bushes, and vines. Your experience would help. No one can understand the necessity of desert growing like someone who lives it with you. I need some field results! Thanks. -Shelby Walker

Hey Shelby. Yes, we will do a video on our watering schedules and how we have them set up. Not sure on timing, so hang in there. In the meantime, If there are any specific things we can help you with reach out to us on FB or email (our business email is listed on this channel) and we'll do our best to give you some specific info.

The hazy stuff, creates natural yeast for making win.

Did not know that, but it makes sense considering you don't have to add yeast to turn grapes into wine!

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm just check the sugar levels from different parts of the vines. Mash together and you get an average sugar reading. If I had your grapes, I would definitely try making 5gal. Its easy peasy

@@tigtime1763 we've done a few batches of wine with these grapes and the flame wine is a solid white (almost blush) wine. Because of the amount of production the Flame gives us we end up using some of the grapes to bump up the volume for our Thompson wine.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Quick side note. Because you have mature trunks. You can cut a thin strip of bark from the base. It forces the vine to produce more sugar.

Is flame grape can grow also in tropical country?
@EdgeofNowhereFarm3 жыл бұрын
That's a very good question and it depends. Grapevines generally need some chill hours (time below 45 degrees) to signal the vine to go dormant and eventually set fruit. Flame grapes have a very low chill hour requirement, so it would be a good one to try out. You might find you can grow muscadine grapes if you're on the warmer side. They are grown extensively in the South, but we don't have experience with them here.

For how many months do you get ripe grapes from Flame? I have read that they ripen in August, but your video is from the start of July so it seems they start ripening around July.
@EdgeofNowhereFarm4 жыл бұрын
Great question. We usually harvest from these vines for at least a month. It really depends on the monsoons. Once it gets humid you start to have issues with the ripe fruit.

Today is June 6, 2020, we're in Tucson and we have a 3 yr old vine about 32 bunches of FLAME grapes on our vine and they are all still green. I think it depends on how much sun they get because our vine only gets sun til about 2pm because it is on the side of our house. Maybe if we had it facing a western sun they'd be ripe sooner. But ours look like they'll be ripening in early July--could be possibly late June.

People watch and listen to learn more to help decide if it’s the right grape for them. If you wanna just look at grapes, go to the supermarket and stand in front of the grapes. No one will talk to you with the exception of the occasionally “may I help you” from the employees 🙄
