Vines will produce 15-30 pounds of fruit after 2-3 years and must be pruned hard in the spring and trimmed again in late summer for maximum sun on fruit.
Grape vines are a handsome structural addition to any garden. They can be trained to grow over arbours and around fences where they can create a living barrier or enclosed space.
