Vine & Other Fruit

Grapes, figs, and climbing fruit

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before a grapevine or fig tree produces fruit?

Typically 2–3 years for a meaningful first crop, though full production often takes a few years longer as the permanent framework of the vine or tree matures.

Do these fruiting vines need a lot of structural support?

Most do — grapes and kiwifruit particularly need a strong, permanent trellis or pergola built before or at planting, since retrofitting support to an established vine is much harder.
