Re: Grapevines in pots

Grapes like rock to grow out of. They do not like very fertile conditions. Grapes are one of the last plants to grow out of a landscape before desertification. I would try clay or cement pots with lots of rock in the soil. Keep plenty of water for the roots to feed at the BOTTOM of the pot. Top watering is not good for most plants.

Dear Friends, does anyone have experience with growing grapevines in big pots? Do they grow well and produce? Cement pots, clay pots or wooden?? 

 Permaculture in urban Sao Paulo. The climate here is ok for american grapes when they are planted in soil, but I am doubtful in relation to big pots.......any clues????

Thanks  Pete
