Hi all,
Does anyone know what is causeing the leaves on my grape to curl up, like a cup?  I don't see any bugs.  It's just a red table grape from Home Depot.  I think it was called "Red Mars"?  Could that be right?  Red something, anyway, LOL.  I planted it in 2020.

To me, your grapes would benefit from some green manure and compost.

Maybe compost tea would get the nutrients to your plant the quickest way.

If it is not a nutrient deficiency, maybe someone on the forum can tell what it is.

I did put a lot of compost on in the fall.  I have another batch that's almost ready, I could put more.  Be interesting to see if the newer leaves are OK.  The only thing I can think of besides nutrient deficiency is some kind of cold/wind damage?  The backyard is very windy at times, and we had several wild storms come thru late in the season.
 
Seriously? That's what you're going with? I prefer this tiny ad:
