Planting Wait until there is little chance of sub-freezing temperatures before spring planting.
Plant at the same depth or slightly deeper than the previous planting depth. Distance between rows can depend on the equipment used for mowing, but 8 feet should be a minimum. A space at least 10 feet long by 6 feet wide should be provided for each vine. Decide on the trellis system and complete the construction before planting. Many types of trellising have been used successfully, but an equal number have been designed by homeowners that have not been practical for long-term management of vines.
