I have a Grape Tree right outside the door. And never heard anything like Cordons from my Dad. Just "Do this." Tree has gone crazy in growth, and has so much food for itself from chicken poop. Its caked under there. This has proven to be an excellent learning experience.

Thanks for a very clear demonstration of a four arm shaped grape vine. This is exactly what I was looking for. We planted our grapevines last year and so far have allowed them to grow to get established. This is the shape that I want to give them.

Your grape vine looks great. Thank you for the instructional video and for all the hard work. I enjoy the channel content very much.

I planted grapes and let them go crazy. My bad. I haven’t had many grapes in the last couple years. I will give it a major haircut.

Looks wonderful.
I’ve been trying and experimenting with growing grapes for the past two years and can’t figure out two basic things.

1. How did you make the main trunk a single piece. I have like 5-6 of them growing form a root crown. Do I just chop off all of them but one strongest one?
2. And how do you create those thick main vertical stems? As I understand you just choose the strongest branches growing from the trunk and keep them as your main producers?

Sounds simple but still confused with these two :)

Thank you for your posts. I enjoy your delivery and topics.
I am in upper East Texas. I am curious if you have any pecan or pear trees. I have some needing pruning, but am new to it. just a suggestion for later.
Again, thank you for all your posts.

More is not necessarily better. There is a simple formula for spur pruning that will give you a good number for number of total nodes you leave for new growth. If you have to many grapes for the vine, they will be small and less sweet.

nice job thanks for your videos
when trimming the spurs do you have to leave a node from last years new growth or do you trim back to old growth, i guess my question is if you cut all new buds off will it still grow from original spur, i feel like you will run out of buds on old growth if you dont leave new spurs from each season, sorry if this is confusing wish i could word it better, maybe a better question is does older growth have a limited number of available buds for new growth

I'm up near Gilmer...is this variety Pierce's Disease resistent?

Nice job Pete, I was wondering if there is a way to get some of the cuttings to start my own
