Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
I will look for more of your videos as we have been trying to switch all our gardening to organic and avoid all GMO's. But the organics have been hard for us this first year. I guess we're just used to the engineered stuff being easier to raise. -
I've just moved into a home with 2 vines along a fence. One vine looks great but has little fruit. The other is loaded with fruit but looks as if it's dying. What would you suggest to keep the one from dying?

I want to ask for advice if I may. I have grapes trained horizontally along my back fence. This is the 3rd year so every little vine growing out has grapes on the end of it. They are about 6 inches apart. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to cut about half of them out to increase energy to the ones that are left.

I'm new to caring for grapevines and they're more for decoration/wildlife. I've finally got them to grow a lot of vines but as I was checking for pests and mildew, I found a weird pink bubble type growth and have no idea what it is.. There's no fruit either.. I wish I could show you to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. Any tips besides the ones in your video will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I have a Himrod and Reliance . I made the mistake of spur pruning instead of cane pruning as they say you should for table grapes. Should I cut them back to the "T" and try to keep the closest shoots on either side of the T? I hate to do this since the cordons are about an inch thick but I heard they'll produce better.
-
I usually get two clusters per shoot. I know I want to thin to one cluster. What cluster do you cut, the one closest to the spur or the one further down the shoot? Thin the further one so you can tie back most of the shoot? My clusters are just starting to form. Thanks!!

Grape video!

thank you!!!

You're welcome. Grape cuttings can be taken now from vigorous shoots from this year. Cut the shoot. Remove the bottom two leaves and then cut it after the fourth or fifth leaves. One whip usually yields two to four cuttings. Plant the cuttings in good potting soil and keep them evenly moist. Good luck with your grapes.
-
Thank you!! I will view the other video. I love to see all the green growth and hate to cut the plant, but the branches are growing all over. Do you have suggestions for growing new plants from cuttings?
-
It is up to you. It wouldn't hurt the vines to prune them now, or you could wait for the winter pruning. Typically one cuts about 90% of last season's growth off in the winter. We have another video on winter pruning grapes too. Hopefully that's helpful.

I have a very large grape plant that I planted last year. I believe it was already 1 year old when planted. I live in Tucson AZ and it has already produced a 3 small clusters of fruit and I do not see any new clusters. However it is still growing crazy. Should I trim the vines this late in the season or just keep pulling them up

Now i know how to look after and prune our grapevine
-
Thank you! We have two other grape videos, one on care and planting, and the other on winter pruning which may be helpful. I'm not familiar with any nursery stock suppliers in the Philippines. You can however make more grapes from your first grape vine by rooting cuttings. Enjoy your grapes!

How do you keep the area under the grape plants from having so much grass/weeks? I have to mow way too much. And how should you trellis concord grape vines? Thanks
-
right, sweet, thanks for that, its been quite hard to get an answer to the question of pruning such a young plant, so again thank you, I will check out that video for sure
-
Yes, you want to prune it in the dormant season to train it to a single straight trunk. From there you can work on either training it to a head or to cordons. If you want more information take a look at the video on dormant pruning grapes on our channel.

so I got given a grape vine from my gran about a month ago, she randomly bought it for me from a supermarket, its now about 2 feet tall, still only young, so I assume that I don't do any pruning on it this year, leave it to grow until next year, its also in a pot - actually just repotted it today into a pretty large pot, will they grow fine in a pot ?
