- The main pruning season for grape vines is early winter, but they need regular pruning and maintenance throughout the growing season to keep them manageable and productive.
Training and pinching out of new shoots, as well as thinning of fruits, is carried out in spring and summer.

After watching the video, I have no idea what I need to be doing with my grapevine.
Exactly, I agree 😳
Same! I got really confused. Wish he’d slowed down and shown us better!
Me too!! Ahhh all the videos are so confusing. All I got from this one was too cut off a stem 2 leaves after a bunch grapes. Another video instructed me to cut the tips of the bunches and remove new growth from the branch below the uhhhm big flappy thing on top 🤔
There's some diagrams on Google with the anatomy of the plant labelled... but there are so many parts with unique names... and then the self help articles are just chucking all these random words at you and I'm cross referencing the terms.. and my brain becomes one with the friggin tangled vine 😂
lmao same
I was thrilled to see you had a video on pruning vines as the vine I have on my allotment is in its second year but, like everyone else on this thread, I am totally bemused as to what i should be doing! Please make a new video for us all ... we really need it. Thank you.
For all those "slow watchers":
Trim each vine with fruits forming after 2nd leaf from fruiting vines (so fruiting set + 1 leaf + 1leaf -> cut)
If you have second grape fruits forming remove it - only 1 fruit set per vine.
If you have more than 1 vine coming out of same spur (starting point) remove so only 1 vine is left.
Check every few weeks and repeat if necessary
You're doing God's work ! Thanks a lot.
After reading your comment I watched the video again and was able to understand it fully ! 🌱🍇
Ohhhhh....
Thanks
Thank you so much you'r the best grape pruning instructor in the world ❤❤
Yes agree totally needs more detailed shots and information such as illustrations
Agree with previous comments. Quite challenging for a novice to understand. The close-ups don’t allow you to understand which parts of the vine are being pruned
I just pruned all my vines. So easy now that I realize what I’m doing. Thank you.
As a complete novice with a growing vine that was way too fast and tricky to follow. Do you have any slower and more basic guides that explain things from the basics upwards, especially the terminology etc
There's anatomy images on Google... it's still hard to remember but it should help a bit. I found it when googling something like 'grapevine training systems' one of the images has many within it, showing different branch layouts and another diagram labelling each plant section
THANK YOU! I have 12 grape vines growing in 20 gallon containers. I started with one grape vine (a gift) in 2018 and now have 12 plants. Being me--I've been learning as I go and not with any particular grace.
I agree with the others who replied - I have no idea where I am supposed to be pruning.
ua-cam.com/video/lt-2EzchvPU/v-deo.html would this help? I myself am brand new to all this and felt helpful for me
I agree. I have no idea what he is talking about. I am in the Caribbean growing grapes for the first time and have no clue how to prune.
Wonderful tips for vines grown in nearly any configuration. "1 seasonal shoot per node, 1 fruit cluster per node" is exactly what all aspiring viticulturists need to hear (great advice to prune 2 leaves after fruit cluster, too). The patience and skill figuring out local soil tweaks and sun exposure hours (etc.) is up to us.
I am not able to figure out what you are trying to do, partially thank to the photographer who tried to use foliage to block the actual actions, partially due to perhaps there’s no plan to share the details.
Very high quality video though. Must came off a very expensive camera.
I have watched multiple times and am non the wiser sadly.
It would have been much more useful if, as he was talking, the video clearly showed what was meant. As it stands, it just appears to be random leaf cutting. I love much of what the RHS does for us gardeners but this is not one of those things.
I agree, but at least the gardener was easy on the eye, helps to stay interested in what he's doing
New vine owner here, no idea what he’s talking about. Lots of terms I don’t understand and no clear demonstration.
Not to pile on- but do you have a secondary version of this video that explains the parts? I wasn't familiar with the terminology, so it was hard to follow. I like the first 1 min 14 seconds. It could be reused for a novice version. So could the part from about 2:14 to the end.
I think there is an audience for this fast version. I wouldn't take it down, but maybe link for an expanded, novice version.
I bought a house with an existing 2 grapevines, and holy smokes is it ever a challenge. Last year we got no grapes, but I kept trimming it to keep it from taking over the world. This year, it got super hot in June and has pretty much stayed that way, it's a solid 14 foot running across the ground away from the idealized location. It produced one, mega tiny, edible bunch of grapes. The rest either went to area birds or other thieves or shriveled in the heat I guess.
Maybe 2 to 3x as long where you clearly point out what each terminology you used meant, it'd be super helpful. The first part I got lost on was "to form spurs". Then the "one lateral per spur", and the "flaring and flower bunch". If you could slow those down, clearly point them out, and identify how to find it as a novice grower, I'd be super interested!
Wasn’t helpful..couldn’t see what to do..
All talk and no show.
Cor, somehow, that was quite difficult information to take in, well, maybe just a lot.. beautifully explained, but I have to play it over and over - mind you - 1st time I am tackling a big (pruned - albeit badly) vine... wish me luck!
Thanks, made perfect sense!
I’m sorry, mate, but that was a practically unintelligible tangle of word shoots, spurs, and leaves. If I understood that, I wouldn’t need someone to tell me how to summer prune the vine. I hope you take another run at it with a fresh script and camera work. I would really like to know what you know about this.
Came here to understand what exactly is supposed to be done but came away even more confused. Am I right thinking that I need to leave 2 leaves after a cluster and then cut the remaining length?
Thanks from New Hamshire !
you sound like you have a lot of wisdom to impart. But you are going through it so fast it's almost like you think we all know what you're talking about. I have been trying to grow 1 grape plant for about 5 years and we've declared it officially dead. we've never been able to figure out how to prune it. it only produced one decent crop for one summer and after that, just leaves. after that just one sprouted vine. after that.... nothing. So we bought 150 year old cuttings online, only a few of them budded but we planted them anyway (last fall) and this year, most of them have sprouted vines at or below ground level, not at the top node. Anyway, some of them are sprouting more than one vine and i'm afraid to prune them and kill them. will you please make a video that starts from a freshly planted hardwood cutting and other videos on the different stages??? please? i cannot learn anything from this video and i really need to. thank you :) God bless you :)
Great info love growing 🍇
I have took over all allotment with a grapevine that Is overrun and I have no idea where to start as it hasn’t been touch in 10 years, I have been told. it’s definitely a tangled mess!
lets have a truly illustrated version and half the speed!
great video , but t could you clarify for newbies on exactly what to cut.
Ours has got yellowing leaves towards the bottom of the stem , do I remove those now or leave them
This video made my mind a tangled mess like my grape vine.
any advice on transplating 3year old kiwi plants
So did I got it right?
level one decision: 1 cordom with spurs each 10cm, wich might have had more eyes, but where only alowed to form one this year stick.
level 2 decision: in case a flower has formed and set in one note of that one stick, a from same area coming lateral will be cut to two leaves => 1 spur one stick with 2leave laterals where ever a grape forms, and longer laterals where no grape has formed (cant be or)
Than video starts
the one stick per spur got longer and the 2leave laterals next to a forming grape have developed secondary laterals, wich are cut back to just one leave (makes it 1 forming grape has around 2-4 leaves in its direct neighbourhood)
So this one spur one stick can grow as long as it wants? just his sidebranches are trimed, but not direct at the stick, sidebranches have at least 2 and later ones (sidebranch from a sidebranch) only one leave
So the number of forming grapes is reduced, but the information/ system been used I could not recognize... like 1 per eg 50cm stick, or maximum 2 per stick (and with that per spur) or 1 per eg sunny 10leaves (4 in grapeneighbourhood plus additional on the mainstick) is not decided.- this is no complain, since maybe each plant is verry different and than also each variety and sunyhours per week might decide how many leaves per forming grape(same with 50cm ...)
So thank you for the Info to be harsh with cutting the sidebranches growing on the onestickspur. and not to be to frightend when cuting well developed healthy leaves.
... and telling the aim, to have a light wind passable plant (sorry for my German English / I did not checked the spelling/ so you defenitly took more workpower into the video than I in my writing-sorry)
For the second year my grape vine put out flowers and small grapes. All of a sudden my grape disappeared or fell off. What would make it do this? Anyone.
You should not expect fruits before third or even better 4th year.
1st year is for roots to grow and establish
2nd year is for trunk to form and grow to appropriate heights
3rd year is to form canes that will be frame for future fruits
You trim everything else coming from canes (horizontal) to max 2 spurs - this will be starting point for fruiting vines next year.
4th year is when you do as per video
Frustrated and more confused now than before I started watching. This wasn't produced for a novice like me. I haven't got a clue what, when, where and how I should prune.
Wh' aaaa'''ttttt?
Told me nothing.
Yeah, would have been better if you could have stoped while cutting, point to the plant what those nouns coming out are on the plant, then, write the sum up phrases you spoke of on the screen.
Didn’t understand anything, “two leaves, new shoots, from where we cut off last…” 🙄🧐🤔🤔
I can't take away anything actionable unfortunately, i don't understand the guidance.
Not clear enough
Neither this nor the website actually explains what to do - it's all very well to say you 'did some initial pruning' and tell us why it's important but I've come here to find out how to do this pruning and you don't actually say (whole branches? how many? or just trim back leaves? ????)
ua-cam.com/video/lt-2EzchvPU/v-deo.html would this help? I myself am brand new to all this and felt helpful for me
Didn't actually show where exactly to prune. Now I have to Google all the techy names to find out what exactly it means...
The guy is talking as if he knows you are seasoned grower and is not talking for people who are just starting out to growing grapes.
Music distracting.
Grape fruits are expected after 3-4 years, if by this time you still have no clue what is cane than don't bother.
If you watching this video after 1-2 year growing grapes then it's clearly is not for you.
Getting angry on others cause you can't understand simple instructions....
I have learned very little from your video, too bad.
All the commenters angry they didn't become expert grape vine pruners after a 3:00 video, are you daft?
A nicely filmed video of a bloke talking and some random leaf cutting - sadly, I learned nothing from this 👎
Useless video, nice vines though 😊
