30 plant vinyerd

[arthur]

How much juice could I get from 30 plants. This is my first year so in a few years I should be getting grapes. I want to at some point get 200-400 gal of juice how many plants do I need for that thanks. And how dose my trellis look any advice would be nice

depending on varity, weather, and other conditions, anywhere between 1/2 gal and 1 1/2 gal per plant. For easy math go with 1 gal per plant by the 4th or 5th year.
Picked some Norton last year ( first of the drought years) took 22 plants to get enough for 100lbs. In most years 100# will give about 5 to 7 gallons. Two years ago it only 6 plants to get 100 lbs at a different vineyard.

Welcome to the forum, nice plants!

Where are you located and what variety grapes are those?

 

[arthur]

They are Niagara and concord I'm in northeast Ohio

 

[grapeman]

You should get about 1-1.5 gallons per vine from those. They will strain the trellis, but it should hold.

On the Niagara which is better for them. Keep short and cane prune or to let them get tall and curtain them.

I find Niagara does well as a top wire trained system and let the shoots hang down. It opens up the canopy better and the fruit ripens more evenly.
