| I'm only two years into growing some Concord and White Niagara (both v. lambrusca) and I'm growing in less than ideal conditions (part shade) so I don't have much to offer yet. Grapes will definitely grow in our area, based on the number of vineyards and acres planted but I think they are seeded v. vinafera and they need some soil pH adjustments. So far, I haven't had to spray anything and I haven't had any fungal problems on the leaves - no fruit set yet so no cluster problems. I'm betting that I'll have to spray something but hope I can go as organic as possible ... lime sulfer dormant sprays and sulfer for fungicide, etc. since if they're growing commercially near me, something's going to travel. Cornell has some good info on varieties that will do well in our area and they do mention some seedless ones. |
