Heyo
It's been only weeks, maybe 6 since my vine has been sprouting and it's growing like weeds. I have a few questions since this was my first off season pruning. I have been living at this house with the vine and never pruned it back during winter until last winter. My goal is to maximize fruit growth this year.
It seems as though most of the shoots have clusters near the base but as the tip keeps growing, no new clusters are forming.
1. Are all my clusters already present? Do new clusters start later? I never noticed this.
2. What is the harm in pruning the shoot tips now? I want all the energy to be used for growing the fruit and not non fruit bearing shoots.
