Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil.1. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling.2. Set the plant crown (where top meets the roots) 1–2" deep, make sure 4–5" of the top shows above the soil surface.3. Cover with soil to original soil surface. Water thoroughly. Fertilize when planting. Grapes are not particular about soil preference and do exceptionally well in clays and loams improved with organic matter. Allow the vines to run as they will the first year. Post or stake the second or third year, and prune heavily, leaving only 2 or 3 buds on the strongest stem. As the vine grows, keep only the most vigorous sprout to form the main stem. Shallow cultivation and mulching are also beneficial.
