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:
Watering every day results in shallow roots.
Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).
