Q1: Must grape seeds be stratified before sowing?
A1: Yes, grape seeds have deep dormancy. Low temperature moist stratification is necessary to improve germination rate greatly.
Q2: How long will seed-grown grape vines bear fruits?
A2: Seed seedlings generally bear fruits in 3–5 years, while grafted grape seedlings produce fruits much earlier.
Q3: Can grapes grow in shaded places?
A3: Full sunlight is required all year round. Insufficient light leads to poor growth, few fruits and poor sugar content of grapes.
Q4: What is the biggest taboo for grape cultivation?
A4: Poor drainage and long-term soil wetness cause root rot; excessive nitrogen fertilizer causes excessive branch growth and affects fruiting.
Q5: Is it suitable for beginner gardeners?
A5: Operable for new growers, the key points are seed stratification treatment, full sunlight supply and annual rational pruning.
