This was great! I have a grape vine that came with my house that is growing on a chain link fence that I need to hard prune and unravel to train on an arbor. I feel much better about it now having watched this. Thank you!
We bought our property this past winter and found out this spring that we have a ton of frost grape vines growing (overgrowing) along the pasture panels around the property. Of course, they've wrapped themselves into the wild (thorny) blackberry bushes. Your video helped give me a bit of an idea of what to do or where to start. It's my Frankenstein project. Thanks!
Awesome presentation. 13 Mar here in northern Shenandoah Valley. My 4 year old concord grapes have 15' vines and are out of control. I'll be using your advise and prune them tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.
I just moved to a house that has not been lived in for 3 years and i just found 4 grape vines! It is summer now so i guess i have to wait to prune them :) thank you for this video!!!
thanks for the grape info, I have two grape plants and I just let them grow but we live in northern canada where temperatures dip below -50 degrees in the winter, i am going to wrap the branches with burlap this winter to avoid the freezer burn we contend with and hope for the best.
My OCD kicked in and I couldn't finish watching because of all of the grasses and weeds around the vines. I did get to min. 8 though and it was very informative.
thanks for the info! i just started a red flame seedless from bare root 1 yr old.. hoping i prune the right way this year =) this video is awesome and very informative!
i love the way you deliver information in this video. Extremely informative how you show yourself thinking through the entire process. I'll definitely be spending some time on this channel :)
Last year I pruned my Grape vines and did not have any grapes. I must have done something wrong. This spring I will follow your instructions My friend and hopefully I will have a good harvest for my table. Thank you.
This video was very helpful. I appreciate the way you dummy it down for beginners and explain why it’s important to cut close to the node, clean your pruners, etc. great job! I finally understand what I did wrong to damage my young peach tree and look forward to pruning our grapes
So great to find your video. Im from indonesia. Now I plant the table grape. Academic and Jupiter seedless. Its so useful for beginner like me. Thankyou.
Yes it is fascinating. I live in wine country North of where you are ,and have always been interested in the art and science of grape growing. I never could pass the chemistry 😭 classes to be able to learn how to make wine though lol! So I was excited to find your video on the grape pruning. I actually have my first Concord Table grape vine ready to plant, but my challenge is that I have a small patio. And I know they need alot of sun. Do you think a mobile planter pot with a trellis would work so I can move it when needed? Or do they like to be in one place better? Thank you
My friend gave me a grape.plant last week of Feb.this year. I don't have any idea on how to.make.this plant bear fruits. Thank you for your very informative vedio.
As an arborist, I think this is an important point. In regard to alcohol. The alcohol MUST dry before it does. It's duty. Simply wiping wet alcohol off will drastically reduce its efficacy. This process takes a little bit longer which is why a lot of people choose not to use it. Although alcohol is very effective. Bleach will do its job almost as soon as it's made contact. Then you can wipe it off , and it has done what it needed to do. After you have wiped it off, you will have no bleach in the cut. Either way is fine, but it's just important to understand. The outcall must dry on its own in order for it to kill the terms bacteria and like
Thank you Steven for this helpful video. We are located in SD/Mission Bay and planted a variety of vines over the last 2 years. We are using cattle panels for trellising. I am trying to establish my shape now and will use the cane method. Our canes are much smaller in diameter than your canes. Almost too small to be considered 1st-year growth. Do you have any tips on when to start pruning? Even though they have been growing for a couple of years, they still seem too young to prune. Only one of our 4 vines has produced grapes.
Thank you for this helpful video! Is it safe to prune like this once the buds have already broken? Or should I just leave the plant alone and wait until next year?
I have this same question. I started pruning in March, with the first half of the video, and then got too busy, and now have way too many canes with too many pretty leaves and not sure what to do!
First off, great video. Secondly, I think you're cutting just a little too close to the nodes. It's ok to leave a quarter inch or slightly longer. Cutting that close to the node puts it at a higher risk of being damaged by rot/disease or the pruners themselves. (Rule of thumb is often directly between the nodes, in the middle of the internode) Thanks for the video!
hi, your video is very helpful. i am a beginner in growing grape. so, let me ask, how many times can one bud sproud? then, if at the first fertilization, how many tertiery branches should be kept for fertilization. thank for yor answer..
So those 24 buds on those 6 canes will(should) produce grape clusters next year? So the following winter end after you ate those new grapes. Where do the new canes come off from you choose from. Is it off those 24 sites that you select 6 more . Or new branches that come off the vine while you were growing those 24 sites?
Fabulous video. Thx! Question: I have a ruby sweet seedless grape I planted a year or two ago & it never lost its leaves in the winter (in LA). Should I prune now (mid Feb) or wait to see if the leaves drop? Thx!!
I got some grape plants but I am in Zone 9a and I think they are out of season. Should I leave in the pots until early spring next year ? Or plant by the fence where they will live?
Question. ForTable Grapes do you prefer Spur or cane pruning. Growing on a 5ft. Tall chain link fence. Concords and Thompson. Could send pics.to you for some ideas on what to do? Had a lot of vegetation not much fruit on 5 year old vines.
I’m late to the party, lol. But I have 20ft of 40+ yr old grape vines gone out of control. I am going to try this on one trunk at the end (more easily accessible) and cross my fingers it helps.
thanks! very useful. Beginner's question: can you root those healthy canes you trimmed off and start a new plant, as I do with the other fruit bushes I grow? I'm living in suburbia on what used to be a 160-acre 19th century vineyard that had vines imported from the Neckar Valley of Germany. I'm always on the lookout for a vine that might have survived from those on the little bit of undeveloped land remaining. Wine grapes, not table, and I can't find a historical record of variety. Hope springs eternal that I'll find one.
Yes you can take the dormant canes and plant them into potting soil. Cut to 3 to 4 nodes, make sure at least 2 are buried, keep moist. The other option is to air layer for propagation.
Nature's Always Right Hi, thank you so much for sharing 🙏 When can we bury them and how long do they need to be in the pot before we can plant them back to the ground please? Thanks 🙏
TBH, my method was to wait until roots *just * showed out of the bottom of the pot. If I’d gently lift it out of the pot, to see how much space the roots are filling inside. If they are holding all of the paperwork tying soil together, then you can plant it by or into a larger pot. That way, you don’t leave it until it become pot-bound.
thank you for the helpful video! I have started my first table grape vine in zone 5b and i have two questions! as we get snow and ice here at winter, how do i protect my vine for winter? Also, with my fruit trees in spring we often get late frost/snow, like after budding or even sometimes flowering a freak snow storm that lasts a day, can i cover my vine with blankets then like i do my fruit trees or will that hurt the fruit spurs?
I've had a grapevine in my backyard that's been growing on it's own. I am wondering if it's too late to prune for this harvest season since I missed the post-winter ideal timeline?
I have 4 grape vines which right now are loaded with new grapes forming. My question is i have some long vines that have no buds but a lot of leaves-is it ok to trim does off so i get more sun light even thought its growing season end of June in Rochester NY
I'm growing grapevines in pots and I don't prune them laterally so they have lots of canes because I did not before how to do it. So now they are loaded with fruits but I don't think I can get larger fruits, what do you think? I'm planning to cut most of the fruits to give way to the other ones for larger fruits. I will do the same with how u prune yours next year.

A grape that doesn’t need a trellis!! I love it!
I like how honest you are. We are always learning a better way. Thank you for explaining your technique so well👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just the information I needed as a beginner. Great presentation and very clear directions. Thanks!
I have been watching a lot of cane pruning and yours is the best
It's SO soothing to see someone else thinking carefully what to do and deciding they did it all wrong after the fact, tnx :)
This was great! I have a grape vine that came with my house that is growing on a chain link fence that I need to hard prune and unravel to train on an arbor. I feel much better about it now having watched this. Thank you!
This was the best pruning video I have watched so far. Thank you. Confidence builder for sure.

Hows it going?!
@@the_mercifulunderdog4437 lol they were not grape vines hahaha
@@charlseyoft2675 😂 you should plant some!!
Thank you! I am just now paying attention to my 3 yo vine. I didn’t know where to start!
I've been making wine from the vine in my front garden for 7 years now and only just now have learned how to prune! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
the only actual good video I've found on this topic. good job.

I'm new at this, but grapes will only grow on 1st yr. canes. And if it's a new vine, shouldn't try to get grapes until the 3rd season.
@@ericclaeyborn4673 Thank You for responding. Keep safe My Friend.
This video was very helpful. I appreciate the way you dummy it down for beginners and explain why it’s important to cut close to the node, clean your pruners, etc. great job!
I finally understand what I did wrong to damage my young peach tree and look forward to pruning our grapes
great info, starting this weekend to get all my structures set up, thanks again for the pruning info for the future
I discovered a good collection of videos that will help you at Grape grower folio
I will try to follow the way you prune the grapes, I have 5 vines in my yard in Indonesia
🦋Thank you! I live in North County & I was planning to prune my grapes soon. So this video was timely!🍇
Oh very good :) have fun pruning.
This video was fantastic, informative and to the point. Well done!
Thanks Haley!
Thank you
Will be great if you post a follow up video of this for the next level of growing grapes. What to do when it put out shoots etc
Exellent explanation, made me confident on my approch to prunning.
So great to find your video. Im from indonesia. Now I plant the table grape. Academic and Jupiter seedless. Its so useful for beginner like me. Thankyou.
Wow that was awesome! thank you for explaining about the healing process and how the eneergy moves through the plant.
It's really fascinating isn't it? I learned from some expert tree pruners about that.

Very informative, thanks so much!
Nice concise explanation...thank you!
Bought some 2 year old vines in 2014, never really did anything to them so I guess I have some work to do this year.

south TN growing some for fun for the first time. thanks
Nice presentation, very helpful thnx! so, how long after pruning will fruits develop?
Great easy to understand video!👍🏽 will def try this out.
First off, great video. Secondly, I think you're cutting just a little too close to the nodes. It's ok to leave a quarter inch or slightly longer. Cutting that close to the node puts it at a higher risk of being damaged by rot/disease or the pruners themselves.

Exactly
Easy listening
Great Great vid. This helps me out alot. We added you because of this vid. 👍👍
excellent info for a city boy 😄🙏🏾
I learned so much thank you
hi, your video is very helpful. i am a beginner in growing grape. so, let me ask, how many times can one bud sproud? then, if at the first fertilization, how many tertiery branches should be kept for fertilization. thank for yor answer..
seems like there are a lot of garden vlogs from San Diego
Duuuuude. Love the video! Where’d you get your hat!
So those 24 buds on those 6 canes will(should) produce grape clusters next year?
So the following winter end after you ate those new grapes. Where do the new canes come off from you choose from. Is it off those 24 sites that you select 6 more . Or new branches that come off the vine while you were growing those 24 sites?

Amazing👍
Starting grapes this year. Thanks for sharing. New sub
Thank you
Fabulous video. Thx! Question: I have a ruby sweet seedless grape I planted a year or two ago & it never lost its leaves in the winter (in LA). Should I prune now (mid Feb) or wait to see if the leaves drop? Thx!!
I got some grape plants but I am in Zone 9a and I think they are out of season. Should I leave in the pots until early spring next year ? Or plant by the fence where they will live?
So for a backyard grape grower in San Diego I should prune in February?
Question. ForTable Grapes do you prefer Spur or cane pruning. Growing on a 5ft. Tall chain link fence. Concords and Thompson. Could send pics.to you for some ideas on what to do? Had a lot of vegetation not much fruit on 5 year old vines.
It's time for a video on how to prune Eyebrows!!!
6:20. Using saws. I think I’m gonna use my Ryobi cordless reciprocating saw
I’m late to the party, lol. But I have 20ft of 40+ yr old grape vines gone out of control. I am going to try this on one trunk at the end (more easily accessible) and cross my fingers it helps.
Thank you. Great information!!!
very informative. Tks
Thank you Usha.
So once you prune them do you leave them be. Or do you prune during the spring, summer. Thanks for any input!
Very informative that you.
Good presentation 🙏 how many times a year grape gives fruit?
Thanks, only once.
thanks! very useful. Beginner's question: can you root those healthy canes you trimmed off and start a new plant, as I do with the other fruit bushes I grow?

I found a useful collection of videos that may help you at Grape Grower Folio
Thank you!!!
Do you still have that grape vine? Can you do another video update and explain what you did
thank you for the helpful video! I have started my first table grape vine in zone 5b and i have two questions! as we get snow and ice here at winter, how do i protect my vine for winter? Also, with my fruit trees in spring we often get late frost/snow, like after budding or even sometimes flowering a freak snow storm that lasts a day, can i cover my vine with blankets then like i do my fruit trees or will that hurt the fruit spurs?
You can bend the 1 year old canes and tie them down to the fencing to help the re-centring effort you want to do since they still have flexibility.
I've had a grapevine in my backyard that's been growing on it's own. I am wondering if it's too late to prune for this harvest season since I missed the post-winter ideal timeline?
You can still prume it 🙏
Good.Job.thank.you
