The smallest, wispiest canes will be removed this winter.
This is one of a few grape vines that have been trained against the wall of the old storage building out in the vineyard. They do produce grapes (I'm not sure what variety), but they're only harvested (as a snack) by people walking past and by the wildlife. Still, the vineyard workers prune it every year along with the other vines.
But we have experienced -15 C today
ReplyDeleteDrizzly here today, but not much to speak of. Supposed to be gray for at least a few days, which means we could have brilliant sunshine by this afternoon. I love that wall.
ReplyDelete82F (28C) and sunny here. We are not expecting any snow either! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey prune them even though, eh? Interesting.
