Timely. I’m now responsible for managing my parents grapes now that they’re unable to. They were “professionally” pruned 2 years ago and didnt do much that year. I harvested this year but the vines are so crazy I’m worried about next year. Now I know!
Thank you for this video. My grapes are 20yrs old so they do what they want every year lol. Our woods area have a fungus of some sort so it effects my fruit and garden as well. I have applied remedies before but I cannot treat the surrounding woods lol. Thank you Mi we appreciate you.
And the vines can make wreaths. One year I trained and trimmed grapevines. It had not been cut in over 10 years. I trimmed the heck out of them. Fed them the next spring and we had five times as many grapes than had been produced in 20 years.
Thank you! I hope to go out tomorrow to trim my grape vines! I’ll watch this again in the morning as a refresher! I’m in NW Ohio and my vines are about 14 years old! I had no yield this past year because I trimmed them back too far. Hopefully with your help I’ll have a bumper crop this coming year! 🍇
I quite literally had to hydra decapitate a vine planted back in 2011 last year (2024) because it was eating the fence and an exceedingly upset crape myrtle. It grew back just fine, and just got pruned back again last week (Dec 2025)
I’m so glad you covered this topic. I have one grapevine that has never been pruned. Now that I have the know how, I think I can tackle it successfully. Is this the ideal time? (I don’t like the cold.)

Can you do Raspberries and Blackberries pruning as well?

I needed someone to explain this to me. Thanks bro.

I learned that you should prune grape vines, lol

12:00 that IS what I was asking! But I was also wondering if this works for wild grapes, because that’s what mine are.
I trained the trunk to go to the top of the trellis. This is to keep the fruit easier to pick and vines easier to maintain.
Thank you! First time I've had a visual of what I'm looking for in terms of shape. I always thought the cordons had to come from the trunk itself.
Great video, easily explained. Pruning can be a confusing process on any fruit.
