Rita1's grapevine

Looks like there's nothing wrong with it to me.

Hi Rita - at a guess I'd say problems with your vine last year have affected it, so that its in recovery mode this year - do you think the vine might have suffered from lack of water in the v hot weather we had last summer ?

It's too early for fruit.

Vine weevils aren't a problem if it's growing in open ground.

The bark on my vine is the same as yours and I haven't got a parrot problem.

There's been issues with it since 2013.
Maybe time to dig it up and start again?

the vine is grown in the greenhouse the vine is in the corner in the ground, i suppose its like being in a pot, i did have lots of vine weevils in the vine roots. i only have 3bunches of little grapes, i normally get 30 at least.

Where do you live, Rita? Somewhere tropical?
There's no sigh of grapes on my vines!! Far too early.

[Scarlet]

It much too early for fruit.

2013 i was still learning, i have had lots of lovely grapes from this vine, but last year we had vine weevil problem and i suppose the vine is still recovering from this, as i have now only 3 bunches of grapes growing.

as you can see from the picture below the vine has only produced 3 little bunches of grapes, they have just started growing.

Well if it's started to flower it's fine. Give it a feed, make sure it's well watered.
Its early days for flowers, so if it's started to flower you should get more later on in the month.

hi Scarlet thank you for your advice, i don’t normally feed the vine, in spring i just add some more soil to the corner it’s buried in. normally all the baby grapes grow together but to only have 3 budding this year is worrying, what do you feed yours with. my brother in law vine has loads of grapes growing and he was shocked by the lack of grapes i have growing. two of the rods have produced nothing. i am concerned to what is wrong.
