I have a Black Hamburg vine which is rooted in the garden but growing in a long conservatory. Vine is about 20 yrs old and has 2 main branches, each over 30ft in length. Vine is healthy and produces a good crop but has now got too big. Can I cut the two main branches back to say 10 ft without ruining the vine and, if so, how/when best to do it? If not possible to cut back, can it be transplanted into another conservatory without too much damage?
Many thanks

I used a natural weeb oil that killed the grapes.
I use a product called Green Cure to keep things like powdery mildew, rust and black spot off my roses, pumpkins, cucumbers and such. I see no reason why it would not work very well on your grape vines. Here is a link for you on this product so you can check it out;

I live near the coast in Maryland and would like to know the proper pruning techniques for 2 Concord grapevines. They are about 6-10 years old and do not look like any typical grapevines. The main trunk comes up from the ground about 6 inches and then has several main vines growing up. In years past I've just trained these main vines over a trellis and let them grow. This year I trimmed off all the excess vines near the top off the trellis (5 feet). What's up with my vines?
Here are 3 links to articles with information and diagrams showing how to prune grape vines:

Are all Thompson grapes seedless?
There are several sources of the seedlessness trait, and essentially all commercial cultivators get it from one of three sources: Thompson Seedless, Russian Seedless, and Black Monukka, all being cultivars of Vitis vinifera. There are currently more than a dozen varieties of seedless grapes. Several, such as Einset Seedless, Benjamin Gunnels's Prime seedless grapes, Reliance and Venus, have been specifically cultivated for hardiness and quality in the relatively cold climates of northeastern United States and southern Ontario.
I did not find any referance to a seeded Thompson Grape, so I assume that all Thompson Grapes are seedless.
I have 4 year old grapes that have beautiful vines and leaves, but do not bloom and have grapes. What can I do to get grapes?
There is probably a nutrient imbalance in the soil - likely too much nitrogen, which produces lush growth, and too little phosphorus, which is responsible for flowering and fruiting. I would recommend adding some phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm
