Advise needed for wild grape vine
Comments (5)Get rid of it. These vines started showing up around here a few years back all on their own. At first they kind of looked nice, draping over my backyard sheds and fence. But the problem is in the winter the foliage falls off an they look awful and they take over everything. In addition they have a tendancy, at least with me, to cause itching if I mess around with them too much, which is exactly what I'm doing now as I'm trying to cut them back and get rid of them....See MoreWarning: Wild grape vine will smother trees
Comments (6)I'm still fighting them. Problem is trying to convince neighbors to do the same...and CONTINUE the fight. As I said, once they get onto phone lines or higher nearby branches, we're toast. And if they're near a fence we have to ask permission to go into the yard. And the nuts on one side actually like them so I have to sneak out and do their back trees without riling them. I've heard Roundup Brush Remover does a fairly good job with repeat applications, and read about a product called Vinex. Vinex sounds like something you brush on the roots to kill them. Check it out at Vinex.com, I think. They have a zip code link that will tell you where it's available in your area--not a lot of places carry it and its pricey but not as expensive as removal, replanting of dead trees not to mention the years it takes to get them back to a decent size. Best of luck. Sandy...See MoreWild Grape Vine
Comments (2)Grapes, wild or not, need a lot of sunlight to produce a crop of fruit. If you want this vine growing where it is there is no reason to not allow it to grow since a weed is a plant you do not want growing where you do not want it to grow....See MoreHow to care for semi-wild Grape Vines?
Comments (0)About 18 months ago, I moved to a house with a big yard in which some bygone owner of yesteryear planted some grape vines (there are a lot in this neighborhood, which used to be primarily Greek). I know essentially nothing about growing grapes, and I have no idea what variety of grapes these vines are. They did not bear fruit last summer (our first in this house), but I see copious flowers on them this year. they are planted along a fence in soil of completely unknown fertility. How do I encourage them to bear fruit? Should I be watering? Fertilizing? Pruning? they are pretty wild and all over the place. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Also, how can I determine what variety of grape they are?...See Morenywoodsman
