Remove any buds that start to grow lower on the trunk. Tie this cane to a stake or to the fence and encourage it to grow straight. Year one - Depending on the size of the vine that you buy, prune the vine back to one straight cane.Annual pruning is very important to keep this type of growth healthy and rejuvenating each year.Therefore you need to encourage new growth, but not too much. Remember, flowers and fruit are located on buds that developed the previous year.Vines can be trained to many decorative forms. Do not skip this step! It is a crucial factor in encouraging the roots to send up new growth during the growing season. After planting, be sure to prune the bare-root tops back to about 4-6 inches in length.Click the link below “Handling & Planting Guideline” to see illustrations on planting bare root.Mulching is not usually recommended for grapes because mulch will moderate the soil temperature, often keeping it cooler in warmer months, and grape vines grow best in warmer soil.Back-fill with soil spreading out roots and covering the top of the graft stem.Place plant in hole so top of graft stem is at ground level.Dig a broad and deep hole so roots fit comfortably.Soak roots in water overnight before planting, if possible.You can plant in April or May (as soon as the ground can be worked).All bare-root plants must be trimmed when planted. Each plant type will be labeled separately for identification. Soak roots in buckets of water until planted. Bare Root - Cut open the bundle (top and roots are tied) and separate all the plants.The first two or three years, each early spring, apply compost around the base of the vines.It is possible to get fruit one year after planting. Flowers are self-fertile and pollinated by wind and insects.You should plant these vines as soon as possible. When you receive the plants, keep them in a cool place with the root system moist. Plants will arrive as dormant, bare root plants.
Storing grapes in a refrigerator is preferable to a cellar or other cool place where temperatures fluctuate. Handle clusters carefully remove any discolored, injured, or undesirable berries and then cool them as soon as they are picked.
