This video provides tips for growing Eastern Concord Grapevines in order to produce quality grapes.

The Eastern Concord grape vine is a cultivar derived from the grape species Vitis labrusca that are used as table grapes, wine grapes and juice grapes. It is named after the town in Massachusetts where it was developed in 1843. It is.one of the longest-standing cultivated grapes in the United States today.

Over time I’ve learned how to overcome the vulnerability of growing Eastern Concord Grapevines in a rapid changing climate.  
Tips: 
Grapevine leaf rust is caused by a fungus during periods of high temperatures, especially above 90 degrees. Covering to provide shading and create a sunscreen for my grapevine prove to be an effective solution preventing leaf rust on my grape vines.

Pruning is essential to a healthy grape vine. Don’t be timid when pruning grapes. If left unattended and to its own devices, grapevines can become unruly and the foliage will become dense which will not allow proper sunlight to penetrate through the leaves; eventually leading to poor air circulation which could encourage fungal diseases. 

Proper training of grapevines is essential to maintain plant size, shape and productivity. I am using a Cordon Spur training system.
