    Inherited vines - fall / winter cutback questions (with photos!)

    Thanks - that may be an option, though I would prefer to have something coming over the trellises this spring / summer (simply for aesthetics). But if that’s the best course we can live with it. I removed the trellising and cleared away dead & rotting leaves from years past along with twigs...

    Newbie with black-rotted vine - what to do

    Really don't know what kind of vines they are - the grapes had seeds and the skins were pretty tough, but that's really all I have to go on. The former owner said these vines were well-known among the local Portuguese families, as they liked to come over and pick them, presumably for wine...

    Newbie with black-rotted vine - what to do

    Hi all - we recently purchased a home with 2 large and not well maintained grapevines of unknown variety (in RI). When I say large, I mean one trellis is pretty much a canopy 12 x 10 (actually looks to be 2 stems) and the other is a half-arc along a fence about 8 feet high and 10 feet long...
