Growing table grapes in containers Container characteristics are color, the diameter, the height, the shape and number of holes on the bottom; a suitable container for a tree species as the vine must ensure draining of excess water and prevent circling roots. The choice of container type must also take account of possibility to use the same plant for more than one cycle of production. To date it has worked with polyethylene vessels and troughs of different capacity polypropylene. The management of the vessels is easier as regards the replacement of failed areas or in the case in which the culture is renewed every year. Conversely if the choice of the troughs on one hand has more management problems, on the other hand is justified by yields slightly higher in relation to the higher volumes of the substrates available for the vines.
