After planting grape bushes, many gardeners wonder what year the grapes give their first harvest. In most cases, it takes 4 years from the moment of planting to fruiting. In practice, the situation is somewhat different, since a lot here depends on care, on the climate of the region where the culture is growing. When asked how many years grapes live, the answer ranges from 60 to 170 years.

Time of the beginning of fruiting in shrubs

The term for the formation of fruits largely depends on which agricultural technique is chosen. On an industrial scale, the first crop will be harvested after 4 years. For these purposes, the following varieties are most often planted:

  • Veles,
  • Long,
  • Isabel,
  • Kishmish,
  • Summer Muscat,
  • Noble.

Large areas are allocated for vineyards, and therefore the formation of shrubs occurs so that later you do not have to spend a lot of time caring for the vines and at the same time receive the maximum amount of harvest. Therefore, the first 3 years, formative pruning is carried out, only a couple of main vines remain on the bushes.

During the formation of the grapes, it will not bear fruit. But such agrotechnology makes it possible to perfectly strengthen cultural plantings and give large yields in the future. In addition, shrubs formed in a similar way will not need to be watered often, and this constitutes a certain convenience for industrial production.

What year does the grape bear fruit after planting? This happens 4 years after the plant takes root. As soon as the first roots are formed at the cutting, you can start counting the time. However, there are a number of factors that contribute to the acceleration or postponement of the time of fruit collection.

Note!The sellers sell seedlings of different age groups. To get the first harvest as soon as possible, it is recommended to purchase three-year-old shrubs. In this case, the grapes will give the first harvest in the current season, and you will not need to remove extra brushes.

If you plant grape cuttings in a permanent place in February, then the first bunches of the crop are obtained in 2 years.

For plant health during the growing season, fertilizing is applied three times:

  • the first time in the spring months before flowering begins;

  • the third time before the fruits begin to ripen.
