I can’t tell you how timely this video is, I was just thinking the same thing the other day. I need to prune my grapes, for a successful harvest next summer.
Thank you for the info.
❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
I need this! Thank you, Luke! I'm going to need to translate this to an overhead structure; but, I think I can do that.
Great summer pruning video Luke!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I never know quite when is the right time to prune my fruit trees. Still learning.
This is perfect timing. I have two 1st year grape plants that are starting to prep for winter. Should I prune them first year? They're also in pots as I live in an apartment temporarily to finish school.
Will you still get good grapes if you only have 1 variety? I had 2 but one didn't survive the winter (zone 4); planted another variety the following spring and that one didn't survive the winter either. Should I keep trying or just focus on the variety that's been surviving for the last 4 years? Thanks! Love your content!
Love this video ,I have two grape vines and wanted to know when to spray fungicide and what type or kind ,thanks
QUESTION: hey Luke, do those old runs need to be trimmed off after the next run is producing
So you prune grape vine in the Fall, not early Spring?
Perfect timing on this….hubby and I are talking about growing grapes next year. Can I use big heavy T posts for this?
🎉 we have a wild grapevine, going up and over our dog kennel where we keep our rabbits. So it’s great to give us shade in the summer. The only place I really pretty though is where it starts. Going over our entrance door. It’s probably a wild muscadine down here in North Carolina.
I was aLways told to prune in February while dormant??
Question: if we have an unruling out of control grape can we wait until dormant in winter to prune to be able to see better whats what? Also, once you have all your runs on your particular trellis then what? If every year you go up one, when you run out then what? Do old runs still produce new ladders for fruit?
Thank you so much for explaining pruning! Here in SC we never prune until February to keep the vine from 'bleeding'. Is that just a southern thing?
Hey Luke. My wife and I were just discussing the Concord grape that finally produced for us this year – even though it has gone wild. While I'm pruning back, is it realistic to take some cuttings and attempt to root them?
Sorry, Luke, but I don't feel you really explained WHY you shouldn't force a run into a different trellis level. What's the downside? Thanks. Good timing as I'll be pruning my huge Vitus Californica as soon as the leaves drop.💚
Can you clarify the training method you’re aiming for and whether you’re using spur pruning or cane pruning? It seems like you’re considering a double-trunked, 6-arm Kniffin system, which is quite uncommon in viticulture. Additionally, I noticed you’re suggesting fall pruning, which is typically not recommended because it can stimulate new growth that may be damaged by frost, weakening the vine. Could you explain your approach?
I enjoy your videos. We have a grape vine going on it's tenth year or more and we never prune it. It has produced more and better grapes with each passing year.
Interesting approach. Very different structural framework than what we typically see. I love grapes from the garden! I have 4 varieties of table grapes and the flavor is just so much richer than store bought.
My table grapes are only on their second year of growth. As recommended, I snipped off most of the brand new little clusters of grapes in early summer to allow the young plant to focus on establishing itself. I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't resist keeping a few clusters of grapes to mature so that I could taste them before I invested a long time into their growth. The clusters were doing so well until early August when I went out to my garden and some creature had dined on each and every one of them overnight, even though they weren't even close to being ripe. What I failed to do as a responsible new grape grower was taken care of by some mystery creature in the night. Now the challenge will be to figure out some intervention for future years to prevent my crop from being the smorgasbord for the raccoons, squirrels, birds, or whatever else loves them.
