Class: Pruning Grape Vines Beginners Guide

[@Shlin1]

I'm pleased I viewed your instructional video. Last winter, as I began pruning, I confused cane pruning with cordon pruning.

[@austinj3881]

I understood spur pruning but this is the first video that actually explains cane pruning really well.

[@MzMary801]

I hope you two realize how much of a Blessing you are for teaching and sharing the knowledge you have. I know nothing about planting and gardening food but know it has been a desire for too long. And I thank you two for inspiring people like me to get it going. God Bless♡

Also, a pruning lesson over on your arbor would be nice to see :)

[@ginnybadger4790]

Your video is easy to understand plus hearing your reasoning for what to leave and what to take out was super helpful! Thank you for explaining each step so thoroughly. I think I'm ready to go prune now.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michombazo1862]

Excellent lessons, well articulated, love the video, thanks!

[@danilorelucio9515]

Great to watch your easy to learn pruning video.

[@nadinehansen9241]

Thank you. I have a gnarly old Himrod that hasn't ever really been pruned. I have hacked away at it but I didn't know what I was doing. It was helpful to see a pruning on the variety that I have.

[@robhoyle4654]

Grate video thank you. I'm new to all this so I found it very interesting. Would I be correct in thinking that cains that are pruned off will root and can be used as cuttings??

[@JeannetteShoreland]

Excellent video! You are a natural teacher. Thx.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Thanks for the comment!

THANKS FOR VERY GOOD DEMO

[@nancyhouse280]

Thank you I am doing mine today

[@vallis1469]

This video has been extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom about pruning and growing grapes. I'm looking for even more information to become familiar with what everything is called, what everything looks like, and the reasons to do one choice or another. Best wishes for a great harvest this year of 2022.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stanleygrover1685]

Good Job!🤓😎🤠

[@jenniferstewart1437]

Wow, this was a wonderful video! My daughter just bought her grandmother's house in Springville, Utah and it has TONS of grape vines. I do not believe they have been trimmed since 2008.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@ritzgreenwood]

"Holly" ? Your backup explanations & terminology were clear & crucial. Thanks, too John.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Thank you! And thanks for the comment!

[@donaldraught8979]

So all those branches you cut off. You could propagate those by putting them in sand moist sand. And start more grapes

[@guramare44]

Thank You!

[@foodscapingutah5239]

You're welcome!

[@nerinat8371]

Great video, helps a lot thanks

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Glad to help!

[@Gregory-i9n]

Can the prunings be used to start new plants?

[@dominadormacadenden2095]

Good jov bro i love it waching in marikina city philppiines we have already grapes in some province of northern and southern part of country harvice time 3 times a year

[@reapergrim76]

Awesome!

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Thanks!

[@TheTrueabundance]

Thank you for explaining everything so well. I have a red globe which, I believe, needs cane pruning. I only planted it last April ( late for southern Spain, but I didn’t know any better) and the canes are still quite short with only 10 buds on each one max. I figured I’d leave it till next Jan/Feb 2024 before pruning, or should I already prune to make some spurs now?

[@chiesjourney8707]

awesome vedio

[@cookingwithindaibayu5044]

Great sharing

[@thedudefromU]

At 12:45 you seem to be using the terms "cordon" and "canes", interchangeably. Im confusion

[@cookingwithindaibayu5044]

Nice sharing

[@bilalhussain-mg9vq]

Nice video , i have a question my trunk on the vine is long about a cucumber thickness i havent prune for years im puzzled how can i send u a video so u can advise me please

[@bryanmoiles2517]

This video was a greatly appreciated. I am still overwhelmed by what I need to address though. I have bought a house on Crete, Greece and we believe the grape vines we have are at least 75 years old, maybe older. They had been pruned in the past, but the previous owner may have skipped a year or two prior to selling. I can see the cordons and I believe I need to cane prune, but it is on a trellis and I am just not sure. Is there any guides with photos that may help me decide which path to go?

[@MattyDemello]

Reliance grapes are spur pruned? I just got Reliance grapes.

[@shirleybradley1038]

Do you have to have two wires?

[@foodscapingutah5239]

No, depending on your pruning and training approach.

[@juventusmarienyaku5605]

I am interested but don't have land for planting.

[@Engraved_And_UpcycledCreations]

My question is, how to prune grape vines that are low to the grown and are green with leaves and have fruit? I see many videos of pruning with the grapevines that are dormant.

[@Gregory-i9n]

I have a white grape that starts putting on good-looking clusters, but when they get to pea size or a little bigger, they look like they are turning into raisens and dry up and fall off. Ant thoughts on why this is happening?

[@ritafab]

When is the time to prune in your area?

[@roverinosnarkman7240]

I think the wrong person is behind the camera, Does that make sense?

[@andtotherepublic8657]

How do I start if I just bought a grapevine this spring and when I got it it was about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and already had leaves/tiny fruit all over it. I just planted it and I’m curious if I should prune it or just let it go this first year. Plz halp

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Are you in Utah or similar climate? The length of your growing season could be a factor. Here in Utah, I would say there would be no problem just letting it grow as a bush in its first year in the ground. Personally, I would remove the fruit now so that it can focus its energy on root development. Next year you will want to be on top of pruning and training in the spring. It will grow crazy fast early after breaking dormancy next year so you'll need to remove side shoots etc as it goes. To get an idea of what I am talking about, watch our video on our grape arbor over our greenhouse. I show the training to form a trunk during the second year in the ground. Good luck and have fun!

[@andtotherepublic8657]

I’m in Albuquerque New Mexico

[@foodscapingutah5239]

@@andtotherepublic8657 Your growing season is longer, so you could go either way. If it is already going crazy as a bush, you could let it go; or, if you want to start training it, pick a particularly vigorous shoot or two that you want to keep and start taking off some of the weaker shoots, ideally when they are short (less than 6").

[@ritafab]

I am near Albuquerque too. Do I prune now in November or is it better to wait until Feb or March? Thank you!

[@patriciahoward6063]

How old are those veins

[@foodscapingutah5239]

There are a few different ages in the video. From only three years to eight years or so.

[@Vector_Ze]

I'm trying to relate grape vine pruning with what I know about blackberry vine pruning. And then, there is kiwi vine pruning.

[@LGM2000x]

"A little off track" would be an massive improvement.

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Yeah, we recorded it live and hadn't edited it. It's cleaned up now. Hope you enjoyed the free class.

[@darrellspencer6834]

Nothing make sense when you have no sense. So be careful using that term.
