Gardening: Pruning : How to Prune Grape Vines in the 1st Year

During the first year of growth, grape vines require training in order to develop a full capacity of new growth, so pruning back most of the new growth from that year is crucial to make room for the lush growth of the following season. Trim back grape vines each dormant season with instructions from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

    Is it ever too late to do this ? I never ever pruned my grape plants and I’m into my 3rd season.Late year was a bust.All the grapes developed mold on them before they got completely ripe.We had a cool ,rainy spring. I’m not sure what you are explaining.
    I have budds already.I live in S.E.-Mid East Pa.(outside of Philly)

    I planted new vines in the early spring that are already producing grapes. Should I get rid of the fruit the first year so the rut system can mature quicker?
