Many of you probably started your winter pruning. Please find the link below for a handout that I distribute at our pruning workshop. Since this year’s workshop will be held on February 27th, I thought it is better to share it before the workshop.

February 27 from 10 AM to 3 PM: Pruning Workshop, Stone Tower Winery 19925 Hogback Mountain Rd, Leesburg, VA 20175. Specialists with Virginia Tech’s AHS Jr. AREC and local Virginia Cooperative Extension agents will conduct a grapevine pruning workshop.  This workshop will involve classroom-style presentations followed by guided practice in the vineyard. We will provide a review of the fundamentals of dormant pruning. Moving to the vineyard we will then focus on pruning strategies for vines.
