Description

Vitis labrusca is a deciduous vine used for fruit, wine and shade. A single grapevine produces enough new growth every year to roof an arbor, arch a walkway, or shade over a terrace or deck. This vine needs full sun, medium water and good drainage. It can remain productive for 50 years or longer. The vines should only be pruned in the winter. The vines can grow 10'-20' long.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
