I like how this video's POV is like a neighbor putting their camera on a neighbor who knows how to garden and will explain what he knows to the new neighbor, who wants to learn how to grow.

So how do you keep racons and squirrels from getting your grapes? I just have a couple vines in my backyard and they almost destroyed the whole crop this year

Enjoyed watching your video, and the encouragement to take our time!

Thanks for the advice to wait! It's already June and we've got some leaves growing already. It's our second summer in this house that had the vines with it and I thought we pruned in the spring!

Ever make vine (house) calls locally to teach?

well, ... glad I watched. I knew in my heart it was too late to prune here in SC but I have been working on a trellis and wanted to move them off the chicken run arbor because it's too difficult to prune. So now I have to wait until next year... will probably just get new plants soon so I can use new trellis... ugh. Oh well... another mistake.

Hi there. So we live in the Pacific Northwest. I have a concord vine that is now 3 years old. Has never given me grapes but this year grew tremendously. So do I prune in February?

[Sam-tgii]

Sir, thank you for the tutorial. Can you tell me how wide the plant gets? Can I plant the grape tree 1 foot away from a fence or I need walkways on both sides?

[billastell]

You're right, the professionals say to prune back to 2 buds. I'm new at this so I don't know.

[SnowQueenn]

thank you for ur tips! Do you prune in the fall? Do you believe that prunning grapes is better in the spring than in the fall? Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the video, are these seedless concords? reason I ask i just planted some concord seedless. Also looks like from the video you are using the spur pruning technique? instead of cane pruning? hard to tell from the video are your vines overlapping in the row? Thanks for your time.

[paulslick]

great Vid! Thank you. I haven't started pruning my vines yet do you think its too late? It'll be my first time, looking after my recently passed fathers 30 yr old vines. Hope i don't screw it up..

[Sam-tgii]

Is this just one vine planted and gotten so long or there are multiple vines planted?

[jeffkimble]

No professional would ever say prune Concord grapes to 2 buds. Concord typically fruits on buds 4-8. Your trimmed canes need 4-8 buds. Any more is wasting energy. Less will mean reduced fruit.

Not certain about the points made but, if anyone else wants to discover how to grow grape vines on a trellis try Grape grower folio (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got great results with it.
