I've had an interesting journey trying to grow grapes. Year one I lost them to frost and year two I over watered and eventually killed them. This year I have a nice plant started and I'm hoping that this is the lucky year! I posted a couple pictures so you could see what I'm dealing with. I built an arbor for them to grow on. I'm hoping that the arbor will work good for the vine. Please let me know if you think I will have trouble getting the vine to grow up the post. I'm hoping to have a trunk climb the post and then have the vines cover the top of the arbor.
Also I am wondering what I need to do in order to get this thing to start climbing the post. Do I prune all but 1 vine back? Do I tie vines around the post with twine? Any advice would help me a lot!
Thanks!
