I was able to get some cuttings from an old Concord variety that are actually from parent vines that are at least 130 years old - an old family homestead that has had the vines for as long as they have lived there. The first growing season, a single shoot is selected to grow up a small supporting stake to the trellising wire and then down the wire in one direction. Choosing a variety that is resistant to diseases and can grow well in your zone is most essential. If you want to make more grape vines you can take cuttings from your plant and do as follows.

New clones and varieties are in high demand, and there seems to be boundless demand for the fruit from new wine and table grape vineyards. Although vines are fairly drought tolerant, they can suffer from the fungal disease powdery mildew if too dry at the roots, so water thoroughly in dry spring and summer weather. Most growers use chemical weed control around vines under trellises and use a rotary mower to control growth between rows. They spend the winter as adults in weedy, grassy areas near the vineyard and move into the vines as soon as growth begins.

Pruning to improve ventilation and sunlight penetration into the grapevines may reduce disease. Wine grapes usually need a sugar content of around 22-24% sugar or more to be harvested and obtain the right alcohol content of the wine. Young vines must be watered more frequently than older vines, particularly during the first year. Root knot caused by a gall-forming nematode may become a problem in sandy and sandy loam soils, resulting in a decline in vine vigor and a reduction in yields. These groups are then broken down into sub-groups such as wine grapes, seedless grapes, or scuppernongs. Do not prune while the wood is frozen because frozen canes are brittle and the vines can be damaged.

In conservatories, a vine carefully tied in to wires strung underneath the glass of the roof will provide useful summer shading for the plants inside. Grapevines are fairly adaptable plants, growing in a wide variety of soil types, from light sand to packed clay, and flourishing around the globe in the temperate bands between 20° and 50° Latitude, north or south of the Equator. Within a few weeks, the blossoms are replaced by minuscule berries that will grow in size, but stay green and hard. Also, certain selections of French hybrid grapes (wine grapes) are suggested for trial in these areas.

Brett Summerell, director of science and conservation at the Royal Botanic Gardens said that the breakthrough had the potential to change the agricultural landscape in parts of NSW as wine production moves south to Victoria with average temperatures increasing in traditional wine growing regions. Drip irrigation works best for grapes, with two 1-gallon drip emitters placed on either side of each grape plant. As a general rule of thumb, one or two vines of average vigor for every 64 square feet is about right and you can always add more in the future.
