August 1, 2023Q.I Have A Grapevine That’s Grown Over A Sitting Area And Wonder. How I Can Make It Aesthetically Pleasing By Raising One End About
.5' I will send photo in another email. I like to entertain outside under the vines, it's beautiful. The vines need to be lifted 1 - 2' for taller people. If I attached 3 support wires to fixtures on house, what could I place on the wires to lift it all up. I want it to look natural. Maybe couple strips of dark screen, but I want parts of the vine to hang thru so it's natural. I am on a big budget so building a trellis is not possible. I also would like to know, what type of flowers, 3-4 would compliment the grape vine area, or vice versa I will send a pic soon. The building is yellow brick with dark window boxes. I'd like to know what flowers are durable with larger blooms?

Certified ExpertA.You could use fallen or pruned branches from a tree to run under the grapevine for a natural look, attached with jute or twine. Here are more ideas:

Certified ExpertA.Pruning should be done, almost exclusively, in the winter. How to prune is a little more complicated, and depends on the type that you have. This article will help:

August 8, 2023Q.Can You Identify This Pest On Our Grape Leaves?
Hi- We have what was a very healthy grape vine growing in our bay side garden in southern Delaware. Just recently, we noticed these "things" on the underside of some grape leaves. Do you know what these are and how to get rid of them? Thanks

Certified ExpertA.It could be black Grape Phylloxera, or root aphids, which are not aphids but look similar. You can tell if they are flea beetles, because they will look metallic bluish black. The lighter round things could be galls or scale. These articles should help pinpoint the bugs, but Neem oil should take care of any of them.

August 12, 2023Q.Would These Be Considered Wild Grapes?
I have a vine plant taking over and the fruit appears to be wild grapes. Are these wild edible grapes?

Certified ExpertA.It could be, but it's hard to be sure without a thorough visual inspection. You can take some samples to your local extension agent for a positive ID. There are too many look-a-like plants in the wild so I never encourage anyone to eat fruit or berries from a plant that is not positively identified. There are so many toxic plants in the wild, including some that look like wild grapes.
If it is wild grapes, I would eliminate the vines before they have completely taken over. They will climb trees and grow thick stems and roots that are hard to remove. You soon will have jungle-like growth.

September 13, 2023Q.Why Did I Only Get One Bunch Of Grapes From A Mature Vine?
I have one vine in the backyard. About six years old. I have had 2 years of a decent crop and last year I pruned the vine for the first time around November. I cut off all the green growth. This year I got one small bunch of grapes but plenty of green growth. They are the green Thompson grapes. Why did I only get one bunch of grapes from a mature vine?

Certified ExpertA.You should prune out the old wood. Old canes don't produce. These care tips should help produce more grapes:

September 27, 2023Q.Can I Plant Wine Grapes In Mesh 15-gallon Bags ?
my backyard has occasional gophers and I want to start growing wine grapes. I was told that mesh bags are a good substitute if growing above ground instead of hard pots. I want to start as this is a good time (during the year) and I like the fact that I can move the mesh bags around a bit easier than solid pots. Please advise, and thank you
