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.

[@rickbrown1734]

Great video, started growin grapes and had been curious about replacing cordons.

[@robertschroeder1978]

Your grape vine looks great. Thank you for the instructional video and for all the hard work. I enjoy the channel content very much.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thank you 👍

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

Looks good...looking forward to seeing your grapevine production this year Bonnie

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Thanks 👍

[@piotrstrzewiczek1083]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@Nikotromus]

Thanks Pete

[@danielcj1978]

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.

[@EastTexasLivin]

Good info!

[@VIDEOZAL]

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 :)

[@ThewTheKooky]

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.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I do have two pecan trees but the squirrels get to them before I do 😩

[@wdwtx2.0]

Hopefully you will get a good crop.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yep, I can't wait 👍

[@bobkernahan6340]

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]

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.

[@bobkernahan6340]

@@petebeasttexashomesteading thanks Pete I appreciate it

[@rexpolka]

I'm up near Gilmer...is this variety Pierce's Disease resistent?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Not sure but it does get black rot easily.

[@temptedadverse]

Can grapes be pruned in spring?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

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

[@jonathankohl6264]

Was this growth in just one year?

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

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

[@davidburkhart9184]

Nice job Pete, I was wondering if there is a way to get some of the cuttings to start my own

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I would recommend this variety. I'm only keeping them because of all the work I put into them.
