Pruning Grape Vines and care
Comments (1)Grape leaves are a favorite food of several insects, not the least among them Japamese Beetles. Unless wholesale defoliation is going on, you might be wasting time and money to spray, especially at this time of year. So far as the variety, if you have grapes left at this point without spraying, they could very well be Concords. These require about the least amount of care here in the East. Concerning the pruning, that would take more time than I have. Contact your county extension agent (listed under USDA, Cooperative and Extension Service in the phone book). They might even be able to visit your place if it is on their route to somewhere. Often times they are too busy to visit a person with a few trees and a couple of grapes, but if you aren't in a hurry, they may be out. Since grapes are best pruned in the late winter, you have planty of time....See MorePruning grape vines on arbor.
Comments (1)It may be helpful if you contact local vineyards/ wineries. Perhaps an employee there could assist you. Here is a link that might be useful: Saratoga wineries/ vineyards...See MorePruning grape vines for powdery mildew infection? (zone 10b)
Comments (1)I won't cut them back now. Control as well as you can this season. Prune heavily next winter and use good controls next yr starting early....See MoreNeed help in pruning grape vines!!!
Comments (1)I have Concord grapes on a trellis spaced 8' apart. They are so rampant that each vine will easily grow 10-12' in a year. Mine get cut back to 4 canes with each having about 10-12 buds. Your best grapes will come off wood from last season's growth that is of pencil sized thickness. I would suggest you prune back heavily each year while plants are still dormant in late winter. Be sure to leave a small renewal spur of 1-2 buds near each cane you cut back as that will grow into next years cane for the new crop....See Moremurkwell
