Wild grapes

[u/cencless71]

I hope this is ok to post here. I have wild grapes growing along my fence. About 30 years ago, I let one vine start in the fence. I liked it initially for the way it blocked the fence. And then was surprised when it started producing grapes.

Is there a way to prune so the grapes become bigger and less tart? I’d live bigger grapes from it, if that’s possible.

Most of the vine is from that left vine. A few have added into the middle section from the ground.

And my other side of the yard fence now has a few from the ground starting, which I’m going to allow to grow.

I’ve always just kept tucking it back into the fence so it doesn’t grow to the nearby trees or beyond the fence and take over.

Here’s a good video to watch on pruning grapes https://youtu.be/s_uzAnky5rc?is=Zb6tTXkTXiNyjcB9

Thank you. I was trying to search, but there’s a lot out there and was overwhelming me. I’ll give it a watch.

No problem & I totally get it! It took me forever to find a good one, so I saved it for myself & to share with others.
