Do these vines grow well in the Bay Area?
Yes—especially in warm, sunny, wind-sheltered microclimates. Cooler coastal areas can still succeed with the right placement (south-facing wall helps a lot).

How much sun do they need?
Aim for full sun for best flowering and fruiting. Partial sun can work but usually reduces harvest.

Will one plant produce fruit by itself?
It depends on the variety and local pollination conditions. Some set fruit reliably with bees; others may benefit from a second vine or occasional hand pollination.

How fast will it cover a fence or arbor?
In warm conditions with consistent water, growth can be very fast in the first season. Cooler sites grow more slowly.

Do I need a trellis?
Yes. These are climbing vines and perform best with strong support like a fence, wire system, pergola, or heavy-duty trellis.

When should I plant?
Spring through early fall is ideal in most Bay Area locations. Avoid planting right before a cold snap in frost-prone areas.

How often should I water?
Water regularly while establishing. Once rooted, deep watering on a schedule is better than frequent shallow watering. Adjust for heat waves and container growing.

Do you offer delivery and how is it handled?
Yes—local delivery may be available at checkout depending on your address and cart size. Plants are secured to reduce tipping and protect foliage during transport.

Can I pick up at the nursery instead?
Yes—select pickup at checkout when available, and you’ll receive instructions for timing and loading
