Why doesn't the Hutai No. 8 grape bear fruit?

The planted Hutai No. 8 grapes may be a female flower variety, which cannot undergo normal pollination and fertilization, and naturally cannot bear fruit. In addition, they were not pruned in time during the growth period, resulting in the branches growing too long, poor ventilation and light transmittance, which are not conducive to the formation of flower buds and fruit setting. Continuous rainy and high temperature weather during the flowering period will affect pollination.

1. Soil: Hutai No. 8 grape is suitable for growing in loose, breathable, water-retaining and fertile soil. It can be mixed with leaf mold, garden soil and coarse sand, or it can be prepared with garden soil, coarse sand and expanded chicken manure.

3. Water and fertilizer: Water the Hutai No. 8 grape every 7-10 days after planting. Pay attention to drainage when it rains heavily. Water heavily in the early growth stage and lightly in the later growth stage. Do not water during the fruit coloring period. Do not water lightly before harvesting or in the morning. Apply an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer each time watering, and spray foliar fertilizer every half a month.
