Grapes are non-climacteric fruits that grow on the perennial and deciduous woody vines of the genus Vitis.

The first step is to select the type of grape you want to plant. There are mainly three varieties of grapes wine, table, and slip skin. Ask yourself these questions: What are the climate and soil conditions in your area? Are they conducive for growing grapes? What do you want to do with the grapes after you harvest them? Are you looking for grapes to make juice, wine, jelly, or are you growing grapes just for snacking? You can even ask your local nursery professional as to which variety of grape thrives best in your location. After arriving at a decision, you can start planting grapes from nursery stock or cuttings in a site located in full sun. Remember to plant your grapevines at least eight to ten feet apart in rich, well-drained soil. It is best to note that grapevines thrive in sandy or rocky soil, where other crops cannot be grown. Also make sure that the area you choose for planting has excellent drainage. If you plant your grapes in a bottom-land where water does not drain around the roots, you will encounter more problems with grape disease. The next step is to provide a trellis or other type of support for the vines. The trellis can be made from wood, wrought iron or PVC pipe with wire strung across it, or a combination of any of these materials. Training the vines to climb the trellis can be tricky, but then again, trellising ensures that the fruit stays above the surface of the soil where it is susceptible to rot.
