If there is a problem with micro-nutrient deficiency, you can only tell by submitting a soil sample to your area Cooperative Extension Service for testing. You'll probably have to pay more for micro-nutrient testing. I also recommend that you carefully document soil, weather, disease and insect conditions throughout more than one season. The more seasons the better. You might be able to discover a pattern contributing to fruit drop.

Concord grape vine 3 yrs old, last year and again this year begins to produce bunches of very small proto-grapes, pinhead size, that just start to fall off for no reason come late May, never to return. No sign of bugs, decent soil and light. Bad grapes or fewer grapes or smaller grapes would make sense to me, but every single grape fell off. Too small to be worth eating. Are they just too immature? Then why did they start gtoeing? Help.

The vine should reach the wire by the end of the first growing season. By the end of the second growing season, the arms should reach 5 or more feet in each direction. The arms should extend 10' in each direction by the end of the third season.GoGardenNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639777768708731411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548380333809072645.post-69263334470266976222010-09-06T11:38:48.150-04:002010-09-06T11:38:48.150-04:00John - are muscadines slow-growers?
