Txas City Texas, 77590Q.Grapes Fail To Hold Blooms
Every year my grape plants will vine and produce blooms.. The blooms will fall off after about a week or two. The vines will then again produce booms, and they will fall off eventually after a few weeks. this happens several times every summer.. Is it a soil deficiency or something else that cause's this. If I cant figure this out after this season, I'm tempted to just remove the grape plants annd chalk it up to bad experience.

Certified ExpertA.This could be due to a few things. The first you want to address would be climate zone. Most grapes will have trouble in zone 9 unless you, specifically, have a variety that is meant for your area.
The second thing to consider will be the sex of the plants. Grapes have separate male and female plants,usually, with some being both. With this being said, it could be that there are no females, or no males present to pollinate females. It could be that you have all males, and couldn't get fruit, as well. In the case of a plant with both parts- it could be lack of pollination, or the need for a second plant because of self-incompatibility.
Unfortunately, there are other factors that could cause this, as well. This will be trial and error until it is solved.

March 10, 2024Q.Best Ties For Grapevines, Zone 5a
Hello, asking from Calif. Before sending packages of Miracle Gro Garden Tie Tape to family member in zone 5a, thought best to ask you what ties best endure that climate. She has existing healthy vines already on property, but currently a mess she'll enjoy tidying. Appreciate your feedback.

Certified ExpertA.We don't make garden product recommendations, but the ties should not bind. They can be fabric, covered wire, plastic, etc., but should fit loosely so as not to restrict growth. The package should indicate that the ties are waterproof, strong and durable.
