Old Grapevine

Question

I recently moved into a new (old) house. In cutting out a thick bunch of Virginia creeper, I realized that I had also cut off a very old grapevine. The ‘trunk’ of this grape is about two inches in diameter. I see now that it has some new growth coming on it. Will this grape be okay and possibly fruit? And will it grow enough to fruit this year, or will it be next year?

Answer 1

The grapevine should be fine. In fact, it too can benefit from an occasional pruning. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/grapes/prune-grape-vine.htm
