I live on the east coast of the US, and recently learned that my backyard is covered in grapevines! I'd love to start properly caring for them, but I noticed half of them were yellow and covered in holes while the other half looked normal. And according to some light Googling, they should have been producing grapes around this time of year, but no signs of any fruit at all. Are they sick, or is this normal for grapevines?

They’re just tired, it’s fall and those leaves are going. If they’re wild muscadines, which they look to be, only a small percentage of plants (I’ve heard anywhere from a little under half to just 1 in 10) are female and fruit bearing – much, much more common to find them without fruit. That said – very good excuse to buy a female one (or a self-fertile selection) and add it to your yard! Muscadines are delicious. 🙂
