Choose the right variety.
There are thousands of grape varieties in the world. For the greatest success in growing grapes, choose the variety that will work best for you.
Do some research on grape varieties, while keeping the following in mind:
Your reasons for growing grapes. You may want to eat the fruit, make jam, make wine, or just add the beauty of grapevines to your yard. Find out which varieties are best for your intended purpose.
Your climate conditions. Different varieties of grapes are better suited to certain geographic areas and climate conditions. Learn about grapes that are known to perform well in your area.
Natural variation among grapes grown from seed. There are some genetic differences even among grapes of the same type, so the grapes you grow may not turn out exactly the way you expect.
Go into your project with an open mind, and be prepared to experiment.
