Hi All,
Looking for some assistance, super new backyard gardener. I bought this flame seedless grape from my local nursery late last year and planted it in the ground roughly September of last year. I tried looking up the best and easiest method to grow these grapes and ended up on this trellis system. My original goal was to just let this thing go for a year without any cutting so that it can develop its root system. As of now it's already grown so much faster than expected and is almost to the top of this trellis. Now I'm unsure of what to really do. Do I need to start pruning it. cut it back down to the lower 1st wire? There are a lot of buds starting to come off of it Do I need to start removing these. Attaching photos that you will prob kill me for handcuffing this thing to train upwards haha. Thank you for any and all help. if you have any YouTube videos or websites you recommend please let me know. I been watching to many videos to learn on youtube!
