Grapes
are one of the most expensive fruits that could be grown in the country as
proven by Bernie Dizon in his successful grape venture in Bongabon, Nueva
Ecija, UP BLISS Economic Garden and in other places all over the country.

It is
also the most obedient plant, the could be programmed at whatever date you
want. So if you want to have fresh grapes on your birthday or any other
occasion, prune the vine of early maturing varieties like the red cardinal
90 days before your target date. The late maturing white Malaga or black
ribier variety should be pruned 120 days prior to the date of harvesting.

American viticulturist concluded that grapes in the tropic grows wild
because tropical countries only have two-season weathers - dry and wet;
unlike in temperate countries where grapes have a dormancy period during
autumn and winter then grow again during spring thus harvesting may be
done only in summer.
Bernie Dizon however, disproved this claim by modifying the grape
culture technology. The grape vine would only grow wild if you would let
it grow. Through pinching and regulation of primary vines, their growth
could be limited thus enabling the plant to bear fruits in a short
period of time.
Grapes, which love full sunlight, could be planted 2 by 2 meters apart
and could be trained to grow at whatever trellis you want - in your
garage for a good shade or even at the fence
