This series is the best grape pruning information on all of youtube. Great job.

This was an awesome tutorial! 5 years ago my dear friend, Jerry, whom is now departed this realm, came and rototilled my parents property, which I’ve inherited. He hit an old root system, which my husband was going to throw on the burn pile. But suddenly, I said “WAIT!, This is where Dad had his wine grapes, and that might be a root!” My husband scoffed at the idea, but my friend Jerry, gushed out ‘well gawlee’ (Just like Gomer Pile!) I planted that piece of root/ wood, even though my hubby said it was just a piece of junk. Well, that piece of junk grew roots, and then sprouted out one scrawny vine, about mid summer. After that I just let it grow, without much trimming. The 2nd summer I got a couple of cups of grapes! Then each year, more & more! Last year I harvested 33lbs of delicious blush colored wine grapes (2-4 seeds per grape). I’ve made Grape Juice, Jelly & Leather out of both the (de-seeded) pulp and the juice. My issue was how do I prune them “this year”, so they will remain abundant producer… Thank you for such a detailed, visual, tutorial!

I have searched and searched for a good teaching video for my home vines. We moved from the UK to Portugal 2 years ago and didn't know what we are doing, despite our home being surrounded by vine yards! So far we have not had any grapes, but now I realise we cut off all the stems from the year before so we couldn't grow any fruit! Thank you, all 3 videos are really clear and VERY helpful. Please can you make some videos about pruning through the year for those of us who don't know anything - you are by far the clearest instructor I have watched. Thanks again.

Thanks for the excellent instructional video. I have been reluctant to trim my grapevines at home. So they are a wild mess with little fruit. Now I understand the direction I should be heading.

Definitely have to rewatch this series a few times to get a better understanding on identifying what is what....but you did an excellent job teaching and instructing, i appreciate you for sharing this with us 🤝

All three videos are informative and practically use full! 😊

You're amazing in teaching! thank you.

Brilliantly simple video and explanation. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, especially for me who just wants to learn to grow grapes 

so very helpful. thank you for the series

Thank ou for taking the time to show us how to prune grapevines

Now this video was more clearly explained than other videos. Planning my average suburban backyard small garden. What I have learnt so far. For arbor grapevine layout use cane pruning. The only thing you didn't mention is why you chose next years canes. You just said " here and here". I'm guessing any 2 that look healthy will do. Also the length of a cane confuses me. I've planned a 4m long trellis wires from a T post to the house. It's never mentioned in any grapevine videos if there is a length limit on canes. I'm taking a punt that a 4m cane length is ok. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video! Very informative. Great job of explaining what your doing and how to do it.I'm growing jupiter grapes, I'll try the trick you've tried ,greetings from Kalimantan, Indonesia

Nice cane pruning video. Thank you!

Great video... but I also need help with some vines that were let go for a couple of years and are a mess.... not sure how far I can cut it back... but this was helpful as to where I want to be

Thankyou this was visibly a very graphic explanation. 🤗

All your is very good video , the way explaining clearly , and the technique very good

This was really well done thank you!

I can across this video on Grape grower folio - there are lots useful videos there that may help out

Well done!

❤❤❤❤

Great job very helpful,but still very complicated for me to understand properly😔 very soon wset l3 exam!

Question: Seems with this technique you'll run into the issue of the vine continuing to gain height year after year - how do you compensate for that?

One thing I still dont get though, is that when making the replacement spurs, wont they get higher and higher each year? It's always coming from new growths so at some point wont they be too high and you have to get rid of the vine?

I have tried your method before. With your permission, I will copy the movie and subscribe to you

Why are the 2 renewal spurs above the one fruiting cane? No issues with more dominant growth out of the spurs over the fruiting cane off the same side of the vine? I was taught to have the spurs below the fruiting lay down cane so that the major energy went into the apical fruiting cane. Is this not right or is it that your lay down canes are short and thus plenty of energy for fruiting canes and spurs regardless of positions? Thank you.

Thank for making this video. What season is this best done in Australia?

Why would you cane prune vs spur prune? Im growing red table grapes and have been spur pruning but not sure if that is ideal?

Are you using cane pruning for table grape like red cardinals? Do you always change the fruiting cane every year for table grapes?

Awe man! I have 3 concord. 2 Thompson and 2 flame. Going crazy over here. There about 3 years old.. first couple years took a good beating from deer, weather, and me, so they are just now starting to thrive. I'm putting up my trellis soon and am just going crazy with how I'm going to do this. I know Thompson require came pruning and the other 2 spur pruning. It's the cane pruning that's getting me scared. Plus i have them all lined up next to each other with both Thompsons on the ends. I'm thinking of running a two cane wire at around 3 and 5 feet. Will Thompsons be able to be cane pruned on those? Will they even need the second wire? I'm not even sure if the other grapes will need it. All new to me. Anyways, I'll be watching your videos over and over.. and over again until i get it done. Thanks a ton!

Are u using a rootstok or ownroot ..? Thx

Am I the only one who is confused, lol?
