Expert Response
To ID your grapes: when they are ripe are they green, pink, purple? Seeded or seedless.
In Oregon, the best time to prune grapevines is between January and the first of March, before new growth has hardened off and sap starts to run. Pruning during this time aligns with the plant's dormancy and can help vines be more manageable and produce better fruit. However, pruning too early can increase the risk of trunk disease spores.
