Care
Concord Seedless Grape Care
Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar. Fertilize in the early spring.
Grow in full sun.
Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet. Mulching the base of the plant with untreated mulch will help ensure moist, cool soil.
Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Its ideal soil is moist, rich, loamy, and well draining. Grapes do not like to have wet roots, so be sure to be keeping the soil moist, but not wet!
Concord Seedless Grapes produce on growth that's one year old. Older growth may not produce fruit and should be removed. We suggest pruning in the winter.
Grape vines require support! Concord grapes grow wonderfully on trellises, and on two sets of wires between posts. Please do your own research and implement the support system that's right for you.
Plant on a southern facing slope, and protect from high winds. Do not plant in frost prone areas, as frost may damage new growth.
Space 8' apart.
