4 years ago, a friend gifted me with a grape cutting.i planted it to provide shade on the south of my arbor. last year, it took off n is now providing great shade.
to my great joy this yeear there were 2 dozen bunches of grapes on it.
i don't understand grape pruning, but i did see i needed to thin them, so i removed half.
it has never been pruned.
i was hoping that someone could tell me how to continue getting grapes every year, with the minimum of pruning.
this grape is most valuable for its great beauty n shade to relax under.
i can't cut back in the ways i've read about.
a big bushy plant is more important than any crop.
still, having grapes to eat would be fun.
my fruit crop is mostly figs, so grapes would yield a bit of diversity..
so, could you please tell me, in words i can understand, how to get a few grape without much cutting?
thanks,
sue
