Wine vs table? Cordon vs Cane? Growing grapes can be intimidating. Since the plant can live for decades, early decisions will ensure you have greater success for years to come. This presentation will provide you with an introduction of the opportunities that await and the challenge you might face in grape production. Varieties, setup, disease management, and pruning will also be discussed.

This program is a part of the Spring Break Gardening Series. Other topics being covered in the series include “Spring Centerpieces”, “Rainwater Management with Native Plants”, and “Spring Invasive and Nuisance Plants”.
