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.
The best time to plant grapevines is in early spring. In colder climates where heaving occurs, avoid planting grapevines in fall in order to prevent this. Plant potted stock so that the graft, which is the swollen joint on the stem just above the root ball, is just above the soil surface.
