>> Pruning Grapes <<
Pruning Grapes requires tools like a shovel, wire cutters, saws, and pruning shears.
Each year, you will need to do a good job of pruning. Grapevines will flourish with the right amount of sunshine, water, and temperature. So you want to make sure you stay on top of it or it may take over your yard.
"Grape vines with a main trunk and four canes are often trained to a two wire trellis. Before pruning, select four strong lateral one year old canes (arms) that are close to the trellis and mark with a ribbon or colored tape. The largest and heaviest canes are not good fruit producers. Tie the four arms to the trellis. Choose four more lateral canes to become the arms for next year. Remove everything else. Prune off the ends of this year's arms so that 10 to 15 buds remain on each of the arms and only two buds are left on the renewal spurs (next year's arms)."
Pruning Terms:
There are many more pruning grapes terms that we will discuss in the future but for now I think that it is best to provide basic information. We want you to check back for more information frequently.
