Hello Again! Im calling on all you F.I.N.E. people again to give me some helpful tips! I just posted 7 new pics of my Grapevines this will be their 3rd year of growth in Illinois! My question is i have NEVER pruned them and they Do put out a few pounds of Grapes, as you can see in pics i have them all growing along side of my car-port up some chicken wire and then back underneath the carport roof (which ill be replacing with some GreenHouse clear roofing for more direct light and heat) right now i have 16 Agrosun 48 in bulbs over them (in the growing season)! OK BACK TOO MY QUESTION-SHOULD I PRUNE THEM? IF YES, WHEN/ HOW SHORT/ WILL I STILL HAVE GRAPES THIS YEAR? The Vines are 4 foot up the outside of the car-port and another 3 foot under roof for a total of about 7 foot! CAN I EXPECT GRAPES ALL THE WAY TOO THE TOP OF THE VINES GROWING LIKE THIS? Once again THANKS TOO ALL!
ROBBY
P.S. The Grapes you see on them are just Party Lights!
