We Live In Southwest Michigan And Have Many Grape Vines That Grow Wild But Do Not Produce Fruit. Is There Some
Posted by admin on February 26, 2010
thing that we can do to encourage fruit production for next year?? Many farmers and wineries in our area that grow grapes for wine and Welch’s.
From my own experience, if you haven’t already seen fruit, then I don’t believe those particular types of grape vines are actually capable of producing fruits, however I could be wrong so I suggest you check with local area experts first to be sure, I know there are wild grape vines in MI that do produce fruit but again from my own personal experiences they’ve not been too great tasting or useful.

Try the local college extension or community colleges sometimes they have assistance to the community regarding matters of crops, soils, etc…
Or you can try contacting these local grape growers and ask their advice, let them know you’re not looking to compete, it’s just for fun
Here’s some links that I hope will point you in the right direction:http://www.msue.msu.edu/portal/http://www.wmich.edu/bios/staff.htmlhttp://www.ipmcenters.org/cropprofiles/d… This is a generalized description of how to grow grapes for juice.http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/forums…http://www.canr.msu.edu/vanburen/mayvol5…http://www.michiganwines.com/Articles/wi…http://www.mda.state.mi.us/michiganwines…http://www.honeyflowfarm.com/articles/fa…
