🍇 Grape Plant Description
The grape plant, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera (common grape vine), is a fast-growing, deciduous climbing vine known for producing clusters of sweet, juicy fruits called grapes. Grapes are eaten fresh, dried into raisins, or used in juice and wine production.

🌿 Botanical Characteristics:
Stems/Vines: Long, woody, and flexible. They use tendrils to climb supports like trellises or fences.

Leaves: Broad, heart-shaped or lobed with serrated edges, typically a rich green color.

Flowers: Small, greenish, and grow in clusters; not very showy.

Fruits (Grapes): Round or oval berries that grow in bunches. Colors vary—green, red, purple, black, or golden. Each grape contains pulp, skin, and usually a few seeds (though many table grapes are seedless).

🌱 Growth Habit:
Type: Perennial climbing vine.

Lifespan: Can live and produce fruit for 30–50+ years with good care.

Height/Spread: Vines can spread 15–20 feet or more if unpruned.

🌞 Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Full sun (6–8 hours daily).

Soil: Well-drained, slightly sandy or loamy soil. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH.

Water: Moderate watering; avoid overwatering.

Support: Needs trellises or arbors for proper growth and fruit production.

🍇 Types of Grapes:
Table Grapes: Grown for fresh eating (e.g., Thompson Seedless, Concord).

Wine Grapes: Used in winemaking (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot).

Raisin Grapes: Dried to make raisins (e.g., Sultana).

✂️ Care and Maintenance:
Regular pruning is essential to control growth and improve fruit quality.

Protect from common pests like aphids and fungal diseases like powdery mildew.
