So far so good! I believe they are Concord if not Niagara. I have two other vines one was planted last year and the other this year.

3 years old... Last spring my dog bit the stem off at damn near the ground.... So it had to start over but grew fast because it had a really good root base. So I should have had grapes last year but didn't... I'm pretty pumped about it.

Finally might have grapes for the first time ever! Apparently my phone was not oriented properly on the first picture. Sorry.

If you look under my previous post "vine/first fruit questions" You will see pictures of my vine. Can I save the 2 vines? Transplant? or is it not even worth trying?

I'm not going to punish my dog... I've worked very hard to get my vine to this point. It was going to fruit this season and it's all destroyed. I'm getting I wont see my first fruit until next season now.

I have been working really hard for the past going on 3 seasons to get a vine to the point it fruits. My dog decided today was the day to rip the vine apart. It was a pretty clean break near the ground. IS THERE ANY WAY TO FUSE THE VINE TOGETHER! My dogs life is hanging in the balance...

I was wondering how long my concord vine will grow? Is this it's max length or will it grow more along the top of my arbor? It's 3 years old this year. I've never had a vine this old. I'm assuming those little clusters in the picture are grape clusters. They are all over the place on the...

ok thanks!

I live in Michigan I believe it's Zone 6 My vine is 2 years old and about 10 feet long. We had a couple really cold nights/mornings and had a hard frost. All of the leaves are brown and probably dead. I understand this will happen eventually once winter hits. I just want to know if my...

Michigan Zone 6 HARD WINTER!

My vine is probably 8 feet long and has finally reached the top of my arbor. I surely hope it does not start off back at the ground again.

Is there anything special I should do to prepare my vine for winter? This is my first year having a vine going into winter.

Ok sounds good. I did cut the 3 suckers off and I decided to cut back the smallest of the 3 vines that I had on the post. I now have 2 very strong stems coming off the base of the vine. I re wrapped them around the post and secured it with plant ties. If there is anything I need to do to...

Ok I will trim the 3 small ones off tonight. If you look close in the 3rd picture I have 3 stems going up the post. There is a 3rd stem if you look close on the left side. Should I eliminate the smallest of the 3 going up the post? Next year will these stems going up the post turn into...

The bottom picture is the 3 big main vines I have going up the post. The second picture the 2 small vines on the far right and the one going to the left are the 3 that are currently on the ground. I don't know what I should do with them. I am looking for any advice. Thanks!

I have a weird situation. I planted this vine in spring of 2012 but I over-watered it and it pretty much died. It sprouted buds in 2013 but then lost it's leaves to frost (even though I covered it). It made another come back this spring and is finally doing great in my opinion. I will post...

I had one plant on each end but the other one died and I have not had time to replant another. I'm still looking for advice on if or when I should prune this plant. Do I cut back all vines except the strongest and work on trying to get it to climb the post or do I just let all the vines grow?

Looks like if it is a Mars Vine I should be in good shape for my growing zone. Mars grape vines (Vitis "Mars") produce seedless blue or purple grapes that are juicy and sweet. Grapes along the "Mars" vine form in large clusters and are thick skinned and easy to peel. Care for the vines is a bit...

I live in West Michigan about 30 mins from Lake Michigan. I believe I am in growing Zone 6. I think it's a concord grape plant if it's not concord I think it could be a Mars. Either way I dug a big hole and filled with sand and peat moss and mixed it up really good. My soil is pretty heavy...

How soon should I expect the plant to reach the canopy of the arbor? It seems to be growing very fast right now.
