Concord Seedless Grape // Unhealthy #799255

Asked July 03, 2022, 4:37 PM EDT

Hello, we put in 3 concord seedless grape vines in our yard on June 20th. When they were planted, they had green foliage and green grapes on them. Fast forward to today (July 3rd) it looks like they are having some issues. The green grapes have shriveled up on 2 of the plants and are starting to shrivel up on the 3rd. the leaves are starting to turn brown/yellow and crumble. We have been watering them daily along with the rest of our plants, I think we mistakenly overwatered them. If they have been overwatered, I assume they may have a fungal issue. Any advice on nursing them back to health and keeping them healthy? I can provide more pictures if needed, thanks.

Jared, it seems a transplanting stress. Did you cut the roots before planting? Fungi infection is secondary and the  main issue is the yellowing and the burning of the leaves and the clusters. We only thing you can do is to let them grow as much as you can and next winter prune them back to have a new healthy grow from the basal buds of the canes. If you have more questions, please send me an email at <personal data hidden>
