The variety tends to drop fruit just after flowering. Other problems that could cause poor fruit set is unwanted rain during flowering, diseases, and even malnutrition. Hi Richard,

The most common planting distances are 8 to 9 feet between rows and 6 to 8 feet between vines. Planting your grape vines too close to each other will result in the vines growing into each other and compact the vine (poor sunlight and air circulation) ---> more diseases and unfruitfulness Keith, yes there are guidelines to how far apart we plant grape vines, but it depends on the variety, vine vigour, your trellis system and what soil type you have.

Remember the leaves of a grape vine tell you how happy the vine is. Good luck and thanks Keith for the reply as well.

Thay will probably do well, as for feeding; if your soil is 'mixed' well and deep you probably won't have to feed your plant. These are extremely hardy plants once they start growing, 'mother nature' will take over for you and you can practically sit back and wait. KGN, Southeastern Ontario, Canada.
