Due to inexperience, gardeners start to worry ahead of time when some fruit crop does not yield a harvest. This happens not only with pears, but also with grapes.
We will tell you when grapes begin to bear fruit in full force and when you can start to panic due to the lack of berries.
First of all, you need to remember that grapes begin to bear fruit normally no earlier than in the third year of life. It is quite possible that ovaries may appear on a one-year-old vine. But in this case, it would be better to cut them off so as not to disrupt the correct development of the vine.
The grapes do not bear fruit. Why?
Firstly, grapes that do not bloom do not bear fruit. And they do not bloom because they were planted in the wrong place - in swampy or excessively wet soil, were poorly covered for the winter, or froze in the spring.
Secondly, the grapes may blossom but not begin to bear fruit. In this case, organic fertilizers are to blame, or rather their excess.
Thirdly, it is possible that errors were made during the trimming process.
Fourthly, the simplest thing is that bad weather and prolonged rains are to blame, which interfere with normal pollination of crops.
Fifthly, if you do not carry out timely preventive treatments, then diseases and pests - spider mites, false scale insects, gray mold, spotting or bacterial cancer - will do their dirty work.
And finally, we must not forget about proper watering. If you planted grape cuttings, then they need to be watered 2 times a week in the amount of up to 2 buckets of water per root. In rainy weather, watering is excluded.
