This page contains some of the questions that you ask most often. You can grow grapes from seeds, but the resulting plant rarely if ever resembles the parent vine. It is almost always a waste of time. Grapes vary widely in their vigor but usually produce between 15 and 20 pounds of grapes in 3 to 4 years when pruned and spaced a few feet apart from each other. An old vine allowed to grow much larger will produce much more.
Grapes do well on a variety of soils.
A pH in the range of 5.5 to 7.0 is ideal for most varieties. Grapevines will flourish with a reasonable amount of sunshine, but they will need full sunshine in most cases to produce grapes with a high enough sugar content to produce wine. The pigmentation and ripeness of grapes is a product of the sun shining on the leaves of the vine. Depending on the variety you plant, you can generally expect 10,000lbs. per acre. Potted grapes can be planted at any time, but bare root grapes must be planted while the vines are still dormant.
