Cultivation Tips
- Soil requirements: Prefers well-drained soil. Grapes don’t like wet feet, so avoid heavy clay or low spots where water sits.
- Sunlight: Full sun is key—aim for at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day for best fruit production.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish strong roots. Once established, grapevines are fairly drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during fruit set.
- Pruning: Annual pruning is important and helps keep vines productive and manageable.
- Trellising: A trellis, arbor, or fence will give the vine proper support and improve airflow. Reliance grows best on high wire training systems.
- Harvesting: Harvest when grapes are fully colored and sweet—grapes won’t continue to ripen once picked, so taste-test before harvesting.
