r/grapes

Hi! I am a first time grape grower. I just planted this spring (Oklahoma zone 7a) my grapes have grown well, it’s been a huge learning curve. Unfortunately, I’m starting to see some suspicious stuff.. varieties are mars and Catawaba. I assume black rot at this point? Any insight would be super helpful!!!! I’ve had some aphids.. but that was only on two. Sprayed with insecticidal soap.. I’ve had lots of fungus issues with other things in my garden this year and treated with copper fungicide. I did order some myclobutanil but it’s not here yet. ❤️ thanks in advance for any insight and treatment suggestions.

And should they be removed beside a budding healthy cutting

I have never grown grapes b4 I got this plant two weeks ago from Walmart I’m in Zone 8b. Does this way of shaping work? Please help me the more tips the better Thanks

Tried to get good shots. Grape plant on cattle panel in zone 9b with full sunlight. These tiny black bugs keep showing up, especially on new growth. We have been religiously spraying with tons of Neem oil day and night seemingly to no avail. We don’t want to use harsh chemicals and pesticides, but is there anything else at all we can do to get rid of these pests? Thank you in advance!

This is our second summer in this house with this established table grape vine. Last year, it was taken over by powdery mildew and all the grapes became mummified. This year, I started spraying them with sulfur (dusting sulfur added to water) according to the UC IPM guidelines in Spring. I also added a wire trellis so the vines could get more airflow and not hang on the ground.

These grapes looked fine within the last week and now they are almost all brown. ☹️ Some leaves looked infected and I have been pulling them off, but most look fine. Some of the vines had brown spots (which you can see some in the picture), but many of the vines looked healthy and green. The white spots you can see in this picture are from the residual sulfur. I’m not sure what I should have done differently.

Any recommendations on how to handle this next year? Could this be caused by something besides powdery mildew?

Hi, I recently built some arbors and planted a few varietals of grapes about a month and half ago. I planted 4 different ones and they all seem to be doing great except this one. The first to pictures of the NY the last one is a comparison.

Im very new to grapes but it appears to be struggling in some capacity but not sure why? Can anyone shed some light if needs something extra? Or if im being overworried

I have 2 new grape vines that I want to make sure survive to become healthy for years to come. I also have watermelon near them that I have been directing around the grapes. Should I just keep encouraging the watermelon to head away from the grapes or can they work their way up the same supports as long as they stay away from the grape branches?

Idk how but I just came down to water the plants (beginner in gardening) and I found this branch broken on the ground. Idk how or what broke it and I was wondering if I can save it by planting it somewhere else or i should just forget.

Grape.

Definitely my favorites thing to grow this year.

Super early start to the harvest season almost a whole 3 weeks early gotta love it

I planted two grape vines (unfortunately I don't remember the varieties I planted) around 4 years ago. This is the first year they bear fruits however all the berries appear like this. I am in NE Ohio (zone 6b). Is it fungal and how to mitigate this?

Because of the janky placement of the grape we inherited (right up against the patio where a corner cuts diagonally across) I needed to create a corner trellis.

My posts are three 8-foot 4x4's set two feet into the ground with a gravel base. Approximately 5 feet from each other. 6 feet extending up from the ground. Where should I put the top wire?

I probably want to go a few inches down from the top, but I'm not sure how far. Some designs include a cross bar on top, but it didn't seem universal, and my family really wanted pretty caps, so we got some, but I'm not certain about stability.

Also because of the extra post this might be plenty secure, as the weight is spread across three 4x4's, and I could be worried about nothing.

It’s run a little over 6ft high, 2 main stems left and right with new runners forming. I couldn’t load a video but here are pictures.

Where should I trim to ensure grapes form and grow? It’s growing about 2-3 inches a day right now.

My first grapevine 🥲

The small tiny mites have been yearly occupants but they didn't really hurt my harvest. But there were so many last year that they would swarm like crazy when disturbed. No pesticide seems to help. This year I got a nasty leaf curl. One vine has no fruit at all, the other very little because of it. To add icing to the cake, I have a major leaf hopper problem this year. Nothing seems to be working on them either
