Young Grape Vine

Question

I have a grape vine only 3 years old. It is loaded with grapes this Summer. I have been told I should take them off. Why? Will leaving them on set the vine back? A shame I feel to destroy the grapes but maybe I should. Thanks

Answer 1

No, no! Don't do that! This is the year that you have been waiting for. 3rd year grapes are ideal. After this, you will be pruning some of the older cane back for rejuvenation.
