How many years does it take for grapevines to bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Grapevines

Grapevines prefer a dry climate with high temperatures in summer. They can tolerate a certain low temperature but cannot tolerate severe cold. In high-altitude cold areas, they need to be buried in the soil to protect themselves from the cold during the winter. They are suitable for planting in slightly acidic to slightly alkaline sandy soil with good drainage and moderate humidity. They grow poorly in acidic soil.

Grapes were originally distributed in Brazil in South America, and are now partially grown in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Jiangxi. However, the scale of cultivation in Zhejiang, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Jiangxi is small, as they were only introduced for cultivation in recent years, and the scale and quantity of cultivation are very small.

Grapevines bear fruit after several years of planting

After the grape seedlings are planted, they will bear fruit after 2-3 years of maintenance. There are certain differences between different varieties. For example, Kyoho grapes generally bear fruit after 2 years of maintenance, while Sapphire grape seedlings need 3 years to bear fruit.

Grape vines are planted in fertile, well-ventilated, sunny land. In northern my country, they are mostly planted in spring, in mid-to-late April. Before planting, use a sharp tool to clean the wrapping outside the grafting point, water enough, and then bury with fine soil to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out, so that it can germinate early.

Grafted grape vines bloom and bear fruit

Grape seedlings can be propagated by grafting. You can graft them yourself from mid-May to mid-June, or you can buy grafted grape seedlings cultivated at a nursery base and plant them home. If the grafted grape seedlings are well managed in the first year and have sufficient fertilizer and water, flower buds will form and they will bear fruit in the second year. If they are not managed well, the fruiting time may be delayed.

Potted grape vines with fruit

Plant a grape tree in spring and it will bear fruit in one year. Plant a pot on the balcony and it will produce 90 bunches of grapes in autumn. Generally, if you plant it in summer or autumn, you will see it bearing fruit in the second year of maintenance. If your potted grapes do not bear fruit after two years, you can cut off all the old branches. Don't be afraid that they will not grow anymore.

Why don't grapevines bear fruit?

The reason why grape trees do not bear fruit may be because the variety planted is a female flower, which cannot pollinate and fertilize itself and therefore cannot bear fruit. In addition, if the branches and leaves are not pruned in time during the growth period, the branches will grow too long and the light transmittance will be poor, which is not conducive to the formation of flower buds and fruit setting. If it is cloudy or rainy during the flowering period, it will also affect pollination, fertilization and fruit setting.

Grapevine planting technology and key points

1. If you want the grape vines to grow better, you must choose soil of better quality for planting. First of all, the soil must be fertile, which is the basis for the fruit trees to take root and sprout quickly. Secondly, the soil must have good moisture and fertilizer retention capabilities, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of the fruit trees in the later stage.

2. When watering, you must control the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil is dry, water it in time. If the soil is not dry, do not water it again. The water demand during the growth period of fruit trees is relatively large, and it needs to be replenished with water in time. However, during the fruiting period of fruit trees, we must appropriately reduce the amount of watering, otherwise it will lead to reduced fruit tree yields.

3. During the fruit-setting and fruit-bearing period of the fruit trees, it is best to fertilize them every 20 days or so. As for fertilizer, it is recommended that you do not use compound fertilizer, but use organic fertilizer instead. This way, the grapes will taste better and have higher nutritional value.
