Potted grapes bear fruit for several years, but what should I do if they don’t?

1. Results of several years

How many years it will take for potted grapes to bear fruit depends on the seedlings. If they are one or two year old seedlings that grow vigorously, they will bear fruit in the same year after planting, but the number of fruits will be relatively small. If it is a newly planted seedling, it may take a year or two to accumulate enough nutrients to promote flowering and fruiting.

2. What to do if there is no result

1. Branch and vine binding: In spring, the branches should be tied in time according to their growth, and the newly grown branches should be arranged on the frame. Be careful not to make them too crowded or have too much crossing.

2. Remove buds in time: During the growth period, bud removal should be carried out according to the condition of the tree. This can regulate the nutrition in the plant. Pay attention to the timing. Remove buds lightly for strong trees and heavily for weak trees.

3. Pinching: Potted plants must be pinched in time to reduce nutrient consumption, make the nutrients more concentrated, and ensure the needs of flowering and fruiting, thereby increasing the fruit set rate.

4. Thinning out the inflorescences: In order to achieve better results, the inflorescences need to be thinned out. Generally, it is enough to keep 1-2 inflorescences on strong fruit branches. If too many are kept, the nutrient consumption will increase, which will be detrimental to the growth of the fruit. Dispose of excess inflorescences in time so that the fruit clusters can be better colored later and the quality of the fruit can be improved.
