Grapes are woody perennial vines. Flowers and subsequent fruit develop on new shoots called canes. Annual pruning is very important to keep this type of growth healthy and rejuvenating each year. Let’s take a close look at a grapevine to get a start on understanding how the vine grows and how that growth contributes to producing bushels of juicy grapes.
Do you want to grow grapes primarily to cover an arbor? Then you can choose just about any cultivar that is hardy and reasonably vigorous. Do you hope to make grape juice and jelly? Several dependable easy-care cultivars will fit this purpose. Juice and jelly grapes are traditionally some of the most winter-hardy cultivars, mostly vigorous and low-care. Seeded table grapes are generally more cold-hardy and vigorous than newer seedless cultivars.
