grapes won't develop Posted 794 days ago I have a grape vine about 6 years old. Was a cutting from a vine that always produced good crops of grapes. I prune the vines in late winter. The last 3 years it has eventually started developing bunches but they get to the size of a match head, appear to flower and then die. So I end up with nothing. Can someone tell me why this happens and how I can fix this. Thanks |

RE: grapes won't develop Posted 783 days ago they might be dying due to the last winter frost. Though my grape tree grew quite well without any punning. |

RE: grapes won't develop Posted 783 days ago Do you get frost and cold? Grapes do need cold weather (well most varieties). We don't get frost here so cannot grow decent grapes. I would phone a local wine grower and ask them? |
