The lower desert regions in Arizona make ideal conditions for certain varieties of grapes, such as Flame and Thompson seedless grapes. Both of these grape varieties grow best in the sandy soil of Arizona's lower desert regions. Grapes in Arizona thrive when they are exposed to fair amounts of sunlight, have a trellis to climb and receive adequate amounts of water. The hot summers in Arizona encourage certain grape varieties to produce high amounts of sugar, which gives the grapes a sweet flavor. Grape vines in Arizona require proper care in order to produce high-quality grapes.
Things You'll Need
Well-rotted manure
Straw
Water
Garden shears
1/2 pound ammonium sulfate fertilizer
Place plenty of well-rotted manure and straw around the grape vines as mulch. The composting will insulate the vines and feed the vines nutrients.
Water newly planted grape vines often to keep the soil damp. Established grape vines should be watered every two to four weeks, ensuring soil 3 to 4 feet deep is moistened.
Trim the grass around the grape vines using garden shears. Grape vines grow more slowly if they must compete with grass or weeds.
Apply 1/2 pound ammonium sulfate fertilizer to each bearing grape vine once a year. Some grape vines do not require fertilizers to grow vigorously. If the grape vines grow fine without fertilizers, do not use any.
Tips & Warnings
Do not fertilize new vines until they are at least one year old. New vines can be burned by fertilizers.
