The time to prune grapevines is from January through the first of March, when the grapes are dormant. There are two types of grape pruningâcane pruning and spur pruning. Mature plants should be pruned yearly to remove all growth except new one-year-old fruiting canes and renewal spurs. Grapes are produced from buds that will grow into shoots on one-year old canes.
To produce the best crop of grapes, it is important to know the proper pruning and fertilizing procedures to follow. Use a cordon trellis with a wire that is 6 feet high. Plant new grapevines 18 inches from the pole of the trellis, and prune the plant down so that it only has 2 to 3 buds.
