Hi, Great watching your video I live in Melbourne and imported some canes from NZ 10 years ago.I have a smallish house in Caulfield which is only about 10 km from the CBD. They had to go to quarantine but about 3 years and a lot of money later ,they gave me 2 plants to grow. I didn't even know how they would go. They are called Albany Surprise and love it here. I know have 6 plants and last year from early January to early March ate my way through 300 bunches aswell as giving away a lot. . They have no diseases but mice and birds love them. I have 3 vines completely enclosed in a chicken house type structure and i put upside down takeaway food containers, with a hole cut in the bottom for the stalk, on every bunch on the other vines. I love going outside everyday and checking their growth. and the vines do grow fast. You have to constantly prune the branches, leaves, bunches and even remove some grapes on the bunches so the rest grow bigger. I photograph them every week and write down the rainfall & temperature & anything else going on so i can compare this year with previous years. Anyone can do this and it takes only about 5 minutes a day to keep in shape. It is very relaxing and exciting as you get nearer to harvest. Happy growing

+john heath Sounds like you have backyard grape growing mastered John! I love your persistence in getting the exact vines you wanted and waiting so long for them to clear customs. 300 bunches and counting is great production have you ever tried making your own wine? You probably get that question all the time... :) I have a few new vines growing from cuttings - they're doing ok but not overly vigorous yet. I would like to increase my grape yields so since they strike quite easily from cuttings I hope a few more plants will be enough. We're lucky atm because our grapes don't usually get eaten by anything but perhaps the birds and other animals just haven't found them yet. Probably the most surprising thing for me was how I always had been told grapes were too hard to grow in the sub-tropics, however, I have found this not to be the case (with the right varieties of course) and I'm certainly glad about that!

You make it look simple & understandable which took away my trepidation of growing grapes, so now I'd actually like to give it a go though I decided long ago it would be too hard. I'm in subtropical area on the coast of NSW & I was worried grapes couldnt handle humidity till this video. Can I grow grape vine to whatever height I want or should it be a set height? I have 3 existing trellises I could use & am wondering if any of them would be fine - they are all made of strong dog wire (wire made up of many sections approx 100mmX100mm sq). The top of one trellis is 1800mm (6ft) high & is 3000mm (10ft) wide. Another is 1200mm high(4ft) high & 1800mm wide, & they are both facing west, but get sun all day from every direction in summer, but only get sun 6hrs a day in winter. The other trellis is 1500mm (5ft) high & 1800mm wide & is north facing & is under the slight shade of 50% shadecloth till late afternoon only in the peak of summer (I also grow dwarf tropical apple trees & dwarf avacado trees under this shadecloth only in the extreme heat of summer so they wont burn, but grapes may need the full impact of the over 30+ degree celsius heat?? How far apart should the main stem of each grapevine be? Thanks very much for your help - its very much appreciated!!!

Thanks for this informative video, I am planing on trying my luck with grapes for the first time. I am in the Tropics, and was able to get a few Red Flame cuttings. read somewhere that they do ok in humid areas. I put the cuttings in pots , and did use rooting hormone, soil is an inert seed starting mix. I was worried about fungus and stuff like that. So if and when they start rooting how long should I wait till I can transplant them? is it possible to keep them in a container? how large should it be, if you know?
@Selfsufficientme8 жыл бұрын
+agriperma I wait until the cutting/plant is growing strong in the pot and has developed a good root system. If you see the vine growing out several feet over the season then I would say it's ready for planting out - this typically takes 12 months at least (maybe 18 mths). Yes, it is possible to keep grapes in containers they are pretty hardy but I would definately pot them up into a large one perhaps about a foot across but I haven't tried it personally.

We still have some freezing temperatures overnight so I planted them in a 12in circle pit about 14 in deep. I keep them in my basement with good heat about 78-80 degrees during the day and turn off the heater at night then it drops to about low 60s. I have a plant light for growth but my vines seem to be drying out and the leaves are turning black my soil is nice and Fertile and moist. Any idea to why my vines are drying up? I have 4 vines and 2 of them are drying up. Both are bigger then the smaller ones. The smaller ones seen to be doin fine.

Perhaps not enough root space? I’ve had issues with cannabis yellowing and dying off when planted in too small of a pot or even a cup. That’s my best guess. Just wondering, howd they turn out? I just bought a dormant Concorde grapevine and a Niagara grapevine and just planted them outside near a well draining slope. The Niagara has already sprouted within a couple of days and seems healthy I used coffee grounds and a nitrogen rich fertilizer when planting and I’m thinking of sprinkling some ash once they get a little older. Crazy no one ever replied to help🤔

@Selfsufficientme9 жыл бұрын
+Palmina D'Alessandro The cuttings might still take and grow but what happens is when a grape vine comes out of hibernation it heavily pumps sap and fluid (not sure of exact terms) around the branches because it needs to grow fast before autumn hits again. So what can happen if you prune too much off a grape vine during the active growing season this stored fluid can "bleed out" and weaken the plant making it susceptible to diseases or even dying. I hope I explained that ok... Cheers :)

+Levkin Thanks mate! Yes you're absolutely right, the best way is to train the vine up a single stem then make a "T" this can take several seasons to do (millions of grape growers can't be wrong and I'm not trying to reinvent vine training lol) but the reason I did it this way was to extend the vine fully to the right and fill the gap because I obviously couldn't centralise the plant. I think it demonstrates how versatile grape vines actually are, for example, my uncle grows one up the side of an outdoor staircase he gets bunches of grapes as high as the second story! Cheers :)

If the vine is getting plenty of sun and in good soil then perhaps give it a good prune over winter and a feed in spring then persist with it they can take awhile to establish but one they get roots down they grow fast. Don't worry too much about some leaf damage it doesn't matter.

@Selfsufficientme8 жыл бұрын
+Steven Braswell You could try a copper spray because it would deal with most fungal problems on grapes. I do have good and bad seasons also when the leaves don't fair as good and the plant suffers but it bounces back the next year. I suppose if the vine is suffering early and not able to grow a full foliage cover at the start of the season or not set fruit due to disease then I would probably use a copper spray to help it along. However, if the plant grows well for the first half of season and produces a crop and only then starts to succumb to disease then I wouldn't bother with sprays. Cheers :)
@kennymatta16668 жыл бұрын
+Self Sufficient Me you said "if the plant grows well for the first half of season and produces a crop and only then starts to succumb to disease then I wouldn't bother with sprays". Do you mean let it go, or the plant may need more care than a spray could provide? I have 4 grapevines that look fine, produce crops and then all the crops end up with black rot. Every year.
@Selfsufficientme8 жыл бұрын
Kenny Matta Yes exactly - my belief is many food plants are "programed" by nature to get attacked by pest and disease and naturally die back after fruiting. So if my grape vines are getting past the point of fruiting and then getting diseases after I don't worry about it. Often tomatoes are another good example: they will grow well until cropping and then succumb to fungal diseases and I think this is normal so I personally wouldn't spray to keep this plant "healthy" just for a few more tomatoes rather I will leave it eventually die back. I would only use a copper spray on grapes if (for example) the plant was being prevented from fruiting or growing leaves and I had exhausted all other solutions such as soil improvement, fertiliser, etc... that's what I mean. Cheers :)

@Selfsufficientme9 жыл бұрын
dwr44 Yes, that's a good question and I know some backyard grape growers have a problem with birds eating the grapes. We've found by growing the grapes off the house less birds or possums eat the fruit because of our presence (and the dog) but we do still lose some. I try and pick our bunches as soon as they are ripe otherwise the birds will surely get them once they realise ripe fruit is there for the picking. In general, (like in our vege garden and orchard) we grow more than we need and this allows for losses from animals, etc. In the past, I have used bird netting to cover trees or vines and this can be very effective also if used properly - and still organic!

How many hours of sunlight do grapes need?
@Selfsufficientme9 жыл бұрын
***** They do grow best in the open with sun all day - well, that's what most vineyards do anyway... My plant (in the video) doesn't get the morning sun so I would say it gets 6-8 hours and still grows strong. I've always worked on a rule that food plants (vegetables and fruit) should be positioned where they get at least 6 hours of sunlight most days - in general anyway. Food plants that get 6+ hours of sunlight per day are the most productive IMHO. Cheers :)
