i have a grape vine 3 years old how do i get the grapes to mature?

Answer 1

don't no but maybe you will HEAR IT ON THE GRAPE VINE

Answer 2

Is it bearing grapes this year? Probably, if it's 3 years old. Just leave them on the vine until they ripen which will probably be September-October.

If it's a white grape they won't turn red, of course, but will turn slightly more transparent.

Answer 3

This is mostly out of your hands and more to do with the growing season - which will vary slightly each year. Grapes need a long ripening season, too cold or too wet too soon and they won't ripen. Grapes under glass do better (depending on where u live).

Answer 4

You could try building a 'greenhouse' around it with builders polythene over a wooden frame, remember to allow plenty of ventilation or it'll go mouldy. Later in the season as the nights get cooler you could double glaze the cover.
If its near a south facing wall, and if its the right variety you should be ok.

Answer 5

I got a vine that was planted in a corner of the garden (forgotten corner) 5 years back. total uncared for.....grown wild between over the shoulder height stinging nettles. I found it last week and it has a profusion of 'small' bunches and looks like it will do me proud this year...

Answer 6

do you mean its not producing grapes? you have to pollinate the flowers yourself with a paint brush

Answer 7

Take a soil sample to your local extention service they will let you know.

Answer 8

By waiting. They are not mature enough.
