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.
Regular pruning keeps the canopy neat and free of dead branches. The twisting trunk can grow to 2 feet in diameter. This habit makes Sea Grape a picturesque shade tree or specimen planting, but it is often used as a hedge. It can be pruned into a loose hedge, screen, or windbreak with several prunings each year. Trunks with included bark between them can split apart.
