How to grow grapes How to grow grapes For beauty and flavor there is nothing more exciting than growing your own plump, juicy grapes. In spite of the belief that growing this tangy fruit is much too difficult for the average grower, this simply is not true. Given the proper attention, a somewhat controlled climate and correct growth procedure, anyone can grow their own grapes. There are three types of grapes that are grown in the United States.
Labrusca grapes are a descendent of the native eastern wild grape.
They are known to grow well in the northern two-thirds of the country. Especially in areas east of the Rocky Mountains. The southeast has been found to be the best area to grow muscadine grapes, while the kind of grapes we usually find in fruit stores or the grocery store are the Vinifera or European grapes. These grow mainly in California and Arizona since it has been found that in other areas they are more prone to pest and disease. There are many hybrids in addition to the basic types.
