  1. so in the first season, we should literally cut of everything growing off
    of the trunk including the leaves? The pic made it look like you just keep
    it to a twig the first year but leaves are where photosynthesis takes
    place. It seems bizarre.

  2. Is it ever too late to do this ? I never ever pruned my grape plants and
    I’m into my 3rd season.Late year was a bust.All the grapes developed mold
    on them before they got completely ripe.We had a cool ,rainy spring. I’m
    not sure what you are explaining. I have budds already.I live in S.E.-Mid
    East Pa.(outside of Philly)

  9. So, how do you trim the grape vines during growth? My grape vine is several
    years old, well established. But I hadn’t cut it correctly. My main stem
    seperates at the bottom where I had cut the left side once (yikes!) so the
    right main stem is divided again at a higher level. Now I’m wondering, are
    there “suckers” that need to be trimmed or do I just leave it now and prune
    it correctly next winter?

  17. I have a grapevine that was planted by a bird. I thought it would die
    because it was in my shaded flower bed. Now it’s beautiful, about 18 – 24
    inches on the longest stem. The problem is it’s at the base of an oak tree
    and it’s hanging full of grapes. It has five beautiful health clusters
    hanging and I know that I should cut them and keep the plant from producing
    but I wanted your advice on how to go from here, Help, Ann

  18. I planted new vines in the early spring that are already producing grapes.
    Should I get rid of the fruit the first year so the rut system can mature
    quicker?
