Hi all,
There seems to be some species of grape growing wild in my backyard. This is our first year here, so trying to figure out what's going on. The grape plant originates in an empty lot next door and seems to be very old, as it is MASSIVE and very sprawling. Earlier this year, we built a small structure for the vines to crawl onto and we were very (naively) excited to harvest grapes at the end of the summer.
Around early May, our grapevine looked perfect - tons of tiny baby grape clusters and little pink leaves everywhere! However, by the end of May and through June, every single grape cluster turned dry and black and disappeared.
Is there any hope of reviving this for next year? How can I tell if this is a bug problem or a disease problem? The weird thing is that the leaves look fantastic still - the plant itself looks very healthy, but every single grape cluster died very early.
Posting some pictures here to help explain the problem! Would love any advice or feedback on this. Thanks so much!!!
(BTW - North Jersey here.)
