I have a Grape Tree right outside the door. And never heard anything like Cordons from my Dad. Just "Do this." Tree has gone crazy in growth, and has so much food for itself from chicken poop. Its caked under there. This has proven to be an excellent learning experience.

Thanks for a very clear demonstration of a four arm shaped grape vine. This is exactly what I was looking for. We planted our grapevines last year and so far have allowed them to grow to get established. This is the shape that I want to give them.

Thank you for your posts. I enjoy your delivery and topics. I am in upper East Texas. I am curious if you have any pecan or pear trees. I have some needing pruning, but am new to it. just a suggestion for later. Again, thank you for all your posts.

nice job thanks for your videos when trimming the spurs do you have to leave a node from last years new growth or do you trim back to old growth, i guess my question is if you cut all new buds off will it still grow from original spur, i feel like you will run out of buds on old growth if you dont leave new spurs from each season, sorry if this is confusing wish i could word it better, maybe a better question is does older growth have a limited number of available buds for new growth

@petebeasttexashomesteading 10 ай бұрын

In the video I showed a node with four vines that I cut two off. The old spurs will keep on producing so you can use them for a long time. But at the same time, you will also grow new vines coming from the old node which you can prune next season into a spur and prune the old one off if you want.

Looks wonderful. I’ve been trying and experimenting with growing grapes for the past two years and can’t figure out two basic things. 1. How did you make the main trunk a single piece. I have like 5-6 of them growing form a root crown. Do I just chop off all of them but one strongest one? 2. And how do you create those thick main vertical stems? As I understand you just choose the strongest branches growing from the trunk and keep them as your main producers? Sounds simple but still confused with these two :)

I planted grapes and let them go crazy. My bad. I haven’t had many grapes in the last couple years. I will give it a major haircut.

I was taught differently on the cuts for new starts. The bottom cut should be straight across and the top cut should be angled. It may not matter. I have a 100% success rate on my cuttings doing it this way.

Can grapes be pruned in spring?

@petebeasttexashomesteading 9 ай бұрын

Yes, but it's always best to prune when the plant is dormant before it starts budding.

@jonathankohl6264 8 ай бұрын

Was this growth in just one year?

@petebeasttexashomesteading 8 ай бұрын

Depending on the variety, you should be able to grow the main vine up about 6 ft or so in the first year.

More is not necessarily better. There is a simple formula for spur pruning that will give you a good number for number of total nodes you leave for new growth. If you have to many grapes for the vine, they will be small and less sweet.

What’s the formula?

@austinj3881 5 ай бұрын

@@davidknab4273 I would have to look it up, the professionals use the weight of the new growth they prune off during the dormant season and then they determine from that weight how many buds to leave.
