Hi all - so we inherited some vines with a house we recently purchased in RI. The vines are pretty wild now and we'd like to try and tame them if at all possible. The major one (in the pictures) forms a full canopy over a supported trellis-type structure and consists of what looks to be 3 individual vines. The other looks to also have 3 vines as well and is supported by a curved structure, but mostly just grows up and out. I'm not sure of the varietal(s) just yet, but it did produce some grapes this summer, despite showing signs of black rot (a topic for a separate discussion).
I'm going to remove the trellis under the supports to get at all the dead leaves etc and clean that out, but I am looking for some guidance as to when and how much to cut these beasts back so we can try and manage the vines a bit better. Growth has slowed substantially since the pictures were taken, but there is still quite a bit of foliage. Any advice or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
