How to Train Grape Vines

This is a more detailed "how to" for how we are training our Grapes to the trellis we built. The principles are the same, no matter the shape you want. Patience is the word here. Let it grow into your trellis the first year. Watch for fruit the next.

We hope this is a blessing to some one.

did you propagate those cuttings to root more plants?

[AcresOfReed]

@halepac1 Our yard space is very limited and the 3 we have planted is more then enough for our use. But propagation works great with any vine. We propagated our tomatoes in another video series.

What variety of grape is that? Are you doing the 4 arm kniffen method? Again thanks for the vid very helpful!!

[AcresOfReed]

@jmwnycprr Concord, and for only being a 2nd year fruit, they were very yummy!

No idea what kniffen method is, sorry. Just pruneing for a "wall" effect that will also bear fruit to hide some urban landscape. :)

Thanks for the very informational video. I agree with others. I watched several videos and had gotten very tired. I have another question- when you prune during the winter what part of the plant do you remove off?

[AcresOfReed]

@shyshinshu When you prun in the winter, cut back the extra growth that hung off your main vines. The ones that produced the fruit, or went past your desired length of shape.

Brilliant video, so useful and helpful. Thank you. I followed everything you showed and my vine has done so well. Best grapevine instruction video out there. Thank you!!!

[timeickschen]

Very good video. You ansured all of my questions. Thanks

[jmwnycprr]

Thanks for the vid. It was helpful.

Thank you for this! This was the easiest way to understand how to grow grapevines in my backyard out of all the videos I have seen :)

now these 2 branches are directed side ways and are in no way like your main vertical branch. In fact, one of the branches is now growing diaganolly (not horizontally, not vertical). This branch is thick now and I fear I will break it if I were to straighten it up to train it as my vertical branch. So, back to the original q, when u say I need to wait for a new growing tip, do you mean a new growing from one of these branch or a growing tip from the main stem? Thank you so much for your help.
