Can you cut a Concord Grape vine during the summer?
Question:I have a vine that is growing all over the place. Can I cut one or two branches? I know it is the summer. Is this dangerous to the overall health of the vine?
Thanks for any advice.
Answers:
No you can't, grapes need to be pruned while they are dormant so you don't expose them to disease.If branches are in the way just try to attach them to the trellis with a soft piece of twine to get them out of the way until you can prune.
I wouldn't do it. Any disease or fungus is active now and could cause allot of problems. I would cut it during the cold weather when the diseases, and viruses are dormant and can't spread so rapidly.
