Planting & Care Planting:  Plant your Victoria Red Ladder Grape in full sun (at least 7-8 hours of sunlight daily) for optimal fruit production. They prefer acidic, well-draining soil. Adding lime and sand can help. They can't withstand temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. For optimal growth, these plants should be planted 8 to 10 feet apart since they tend to stretch. Watering: Victoria Red Ladder Grape Vines are drought-tolerant and can usually survive on rainfall after the first year. Adjust accordingly if you live in a hot and dry area without good irrigation. When planting new grapevines, keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water more or less than twice a week in the first few months, depending on your climate. Pollination: Most species of grape are self-fertile but a good rule of “green thumb” is to always plant in pairs. Not only will this assure you a healthy yield of fruit but it will also cover the possibility that the grapes need another separate vine for pollination to kick-start the fruiting process. Fertilizing: Fertilizing helps growth and fruit production, but don't overdo it. Apply the recommended amount at planting and once or twice a year during the growing season. Don't fertilize at the end of the season, or new growth may suffer in colder weather. Harvesting: Taste is the best determining factor if it’s time to harvest or not. When fruit appears, test its ripeness by picking a few grapes from different areas and tasting them. If the grapes are sweet, start picking as they ready for harvesting and eating. Tips: Grapes will not continue to ripen after picking, so be sure not to pick them prematurely. Color and size are not necessarily good indicators of ripe fruit. Only pick the fruit after you’ve tasted it and are certain it is ready. Grapes are certainly a multi-purpose fruit, being used for wine, baked goods, jams, and for eating fresh off the vine. A fantastic plant addition for any fruit lover!
