Q.Help! Unripe Berries Keep Falling Off The Vine.
Ampelopsis brevipedunculata is extremely hard to grow and hard to keep alive in north central Colorado. I am trying to get berries from my vine so I can plant vines along a fence. But only five or six berries reach maturity. The rest just fall off. No birds, bugs, etc. A berry is on the vine at nightfall, gone the next morning. I know how to keep the vine alive and producing blooms. We have an army of wasps who do the germinating but they are gone by sundown, I need ideas, please!
