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

Introduction to grape growing

Grapes prefer a warm environment. The minimum temperature required for growth is about 12 degrees to 15 degrees, the minimum ground temperature is about 10 degrees to 13 degrees, the suitable growth temperature during the flowering period is about 20 degrees, and the temperature during the fruit expansion period needs to be 20 degrees to 30 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the coloring and sugar content are better.

The effect of planting grapes in autumn is better than that in spring. The average lifespan of grapes is about 60 years. The lifespan of grapevines is related to variety, planting site and management method. The longest-lived grapevines can live for more than 100 years.

Grapes were originally distributed in western Asia and are now widely planted in Anhui, Xinjiang, Shandong, Hebei, Liaoning, Henan and other places in China. The main excellent fresh food varieties include seedless white, rose fragrance, Kyoho, etc., and the wine-making varieties include Baiya, Baixiexi, Riesling, Coral Pearl, Cabernet Sauvignon, etc.

Grape planting results after several years

Grapes generally begin to bear fruit 2 to 3 years after planting, and the production period can be up to 20 years or longer. When planting, choose a location that is flat, sheltered from the wind, and has plenty of sunlight. Fertile sandy loam is preferred.

Grafted grapes bloom and bear fruit

If the grafted grape seedlings are well maintained in the first year, they will bear fruit in the second year. If they are not managed well, the fruiting time may be delayed.

Potted grapes with fruit

Potted grapes bear fruit early. If they are carefully cared for, they can bear fruit in two years. Each pot of grapes can produce 1-3 kilograms, and up to 4-5 kilograms.

Why don't grapes bear fruit?

1. Insufficient fertilizer: When planting grape vines, you can apply enough base fertilizer, and in late summer and early autumn, you need to continuously apply topdressing so that more new branches and leaves will sprout in the spring of the following year. If you do not add enough fertilizer, it will be difficult to bear fruit.

2. The time is not right: Some grape seedlings are very small and are only one or two years old when purchased, so they will not bear fruit. They need careful care for two years before they can bear fruit.

Key points for high-yield grape cultivation

Some branches and leaves need to be pruned during the growth period of grapes, but leaves that can cover the grape fruits should be retained. Fertilizer should be applied in time after pruning. Planting in the south also requires mastering rain shelter technology, mainly building rain shelters and taking good drainage measures.
