How do you prune a young grape vine for winter?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

For winter pruning of a young grape vine, focus on establishing a strong framework. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged wood. Select 1-2 robust canes to form the main "cordon" or "trunk," and prune them back to 2-3 buds. This encourages strong growth in spring, directing the vine's energy towards developing a sturdy structure for future fruit production.
