I am new at this grape growing. I wanted to get some info, and hope its O.k. since I not a vineyard man. I tried years ago with out success, I believe it was do to Black Walnut trees. I just got couple plants to grow, I wanted to ask the pro's. I got these a couple days ago. They already came with leaves. Is it O.K. to plant them now? The temp has been any where from 30-50 degrees.

I am not a pro by any means, but if it was me, think I would wait til all chance of frost is past since they have already leafed out. And welcome to the forum. Arne.
I got them Walmart about a week ago. I live between Honeoye and Hemlock in a dip in the hill.

Definitely too soon to plant. That is the problem with buying from any of the Big Box stores- they always stock up too early for an area to plant. They plan on you buying, planting and then they die. Makes you come back for more after you "learn your lesson". Now you need to find a way to keep them growing inside where they will get leggy(spindly) with small thin, inneficient leaves. Wait until your past freezing temps at night. Where I am at, that means at least another months wait, but you might be safe in 3-5 weeks.

Listen to Grapeman, he is one of the grape growing guru's around here. Probably forgot more than I will ever know about growing grapes. Arne.
