Hello everyone!
In our yard are two grapevines that were planted about 100 years ago right next to each other. One is a female vine and the other a male vine. I think they are both Niagara grapes.
The female vine produces grapes every year. The male vine produces sweet-smelling flowers with pollen, but never produces grapes.
That is, until this year.
Something very strange has happened this year that I don't understand. The male vine has produced tiny little things that look like mini grapes. See below.
When you crack them open, there is very little flesh, but one very large seed.
Can anyone explain this to me? How has the male grape vine--- which has NEVER had grapes in the 20 years I've lived here--- now have weird little grapelike berries?
Thanks!
