I'm wondering what wrong with my grapes tree?.My grapes are small and some are even black in color before ripe yet.Most of them keep falling all over the ground,so pathetic.Early in this January when the weather was freezing cold,I had the tree pruned and removed all the surrounding weeds as well.But I forget to fertilize the ground near the tree stumps.My FIL advised me to so do,said it's might help the grapes to grow bigger and healthy.A friend told me that ,if I pruned the trees ,the grapes won't taste sweet for 2 or 3 years.I don't know much about gardening especially grapes.Maybe my thumbs are not "green" enough..In my whole life, I live in city and have no idea how to grow,manage plants or work in a garden.I have learn quite a lots these few years since I moved to Long Island .
Actually ,we inherited our grapes trees when we bought our home from my MIL.I guess the age of our grapes trees is at least 25 years old.It's a very mature tree but the fruit is so skinny and small like peas because during the last 15 years nobody bother to take care it.My 'FIL' is the person who planted all these grapes tree from seeds 30 years back then.He left after they divorced 20 years ago and my MIL doesn't bother with all the garden work.Weeds and trees grown all over the back yard.Poison ivy and poison oak climbing up up high on the oak trees.It's take me a hell lots of time to clear and removed that bitchy plants. Have to see few times doctor for treatments to heal the itchiness and rashes.It's a real pain..

My mom told me that grapes tree will live until 100 year old.Well,I will try again this winter to fertilize and prune it .Maybe I should google's grape tree doctor,ask for his advise.Or maybe look for"Plant grapes tree for Dummies".I want to preserve the tree because to grow a grape tree it so hard, take years for it to mature but to destroy it just take a second.Hope I can save the trees..Any ideas,anybody?..

beachlover,
Have you try to make wine with your grapes? I have a friend lives in Petersburg, VA and recently tried to make homemade wine.
He gave us a bottle with label and everything. Still in our wine chiller.
Give it a try.
Cat.No I haven't try to make wine.I guess the process if making wine is not easy.My FIL suggested JAM.I even buy pectin to make JAM but didn't have the effort to start yet.Need to buy clean Jam jar first.
Maybe I should try to make wine since I love wine so much..thanks for the idea.
