Val_Douest Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 We have about 15 vines - several different dessert varieties - planted along a mesh fence. We moved in late last October and apart from giving them a rather tentative prune in January they've really been left to their own devices. They have now grown enormously and are looking very healthy but a bit wild and woolly. All of them now have many bunches of little grapes. Should I remove some of these to let the remaining ones develop, and if so should I do it now?Thanks for any advice,Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 ValYou need to cut back the straggly growth to a leaf joint or two above the last bunch of grapes. I did this a few weeks ago and the pinheads are now developing into nice bunches of grapes. Do a search on the net for instructions on how to prune grapes.In the UK in greenhouses they do it weekly - what a chore but the grapes are worth it.Dihttp://www.iceni-it.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
