I saw on TV a farmer grew grapes at the hdb corridor and it has a lot of fruits. He remarked that some species of grape dun need a lot of sun.

Need less sun, and low temp. Meaning water many times to cool down a day. Not worth the time. And up the fruits not sweet also. I know some that try grow 8n air-con room. It is not economically feasible at all.

Grapes like many citrus fruits, needs a summer and a winter to make it sweet.

Hey, you know why my kaffir plant doesn't bear any fruits? I've had it for years but never once had a single fruit.
