Learn how to prune grapevines with confidence in this fully hands-on field workshop. After a short introduction to grapevine growth and common training systems, participants will practice pruning directly in the vineyard. You’ll learn how to identify one-year-old wood, choose the right canes or spurs, and make clean cuts that support vine health and fruit production.
Tools will be available on site, but you are welcome to bring your own. This workshop takes place outdoors; please dress for cold, wet, or muddy conditions.
When registering for the Grape Pruning Mass Aggie, you will have the option to select online only (a one hour Zoom discussing grape pruning basics), or in person. Please take care to select the option that best fits your interests! Please use the link below to register for this and other Aggies.
