Gardening: Pruning : How to Prune Grapes

Pruning grape vines is best done by cutting back 90 percent of the new growth each year, which trains the grapes to grow and blossom a bit fuller every year after that. Maintain grape vines with instructions from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

thank you so much for this video- very helpful. I read lots of instructions and could not visualize what they were saying. I needed to see a picture, exactly what you were showing! And to those people on this site who are so mean and rude- get a life! no need to be so bitter, you only hurt your chances of finding happiness. Negative attracts negativity and repells positive people away from you.

This broad is an idiot. You can't make a video on how to prune and show pictures from a book. She has never pruned a grape vine and you should just go to the library and get the book.

@rcarian1 ... Growing grapes for 40 year eh ... why would you prune in January if your'e a person living in Australia ? I think you are inward looking thinking where you are is the centre of vine growing. OK , train them "anyway" but theres a reason why vines are trained by cetain methods and thats to give maximum sunlight exposure. Hmm OK , we let you win ... you are obviously an expert !

Very good instuctional video. Thank you ... but .. can I just say , I also prune grapes and I do it with my teeth then swallow them. When I prune a grape VINE I do it with secatures and I don't eat the prunings. Know what I mean wink wink.

We got ourselves a retard. Are you telling us how to prune grapes or reading your kids a bedtime story. Stick to your day job which I hope for your sake doesn't have anything to do with plants

Prune in January.  Grapes can be trained in any way. Just leave enough fruiting wood for the next season's harvest. Get a book from the library and don't pay any attention to this idiot in the video. Me? Growing grapes for over 40 years. All varieties
