• Spur pruning

• Cane pruning

Cane PruningThompson Seedless, Black Monukka, Fantasy Seedless, Fiesta, GoldenMuscat, Concord and Crimson Seedless, Chardonnay, and Gewuztraminer areall cane pruned because the basal buds of each cane are not fruitful. You have toleave a long cane that has between 10 and fourteen buds. Cut

As a general rule, leave 4-6 canesper vine. The more vigorous the vine more canes you can leave. If you vine isweak then leave fewer canes.Chose canes that are 3/8-5/8ths inch in diameter and that are on top ofthe vine and exposed to light.

Spur pruningThere are two fruiting canes (this years growth) originating from each spur (a cane shortened, usually to two nodes, although it

may be between one and four nodes, in the previous years pruning). The cane furthest away from the cordon is completely removed, the one nearest is shortened to two nodes to produce next years spur, which will generate the two new fruiting canes.

There are a number of spurs along the cordon, providing sufficient quantity of fruit.

Cane pruning:Here the vine has a two year old cane which generates many

more fruiting canes during the growing season, and a spur giving origin to two canes. At pruning the two year old cane, and consequently much of this years growth, are completely removed. Of the two canes originating from the spur, the one closest to the cordon is pruned to leave a replacement two

node spur, whereas the cane further away is left intact, although shortened. This is next years two year old cane.
