grape pruning

Asked January 18, 2021, 1:59 PM EST

I have a table grape called "Swanson's Red". Should I use the spur or cane method to prune it?

Washington County Oregon

Thank you for your question. I can find no "Swanson's Red" variety. Are you referring to Swenson's Red grape, developed in Minnesota? If so, cane prune is recommended: https://extension.umaine.edu/york/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2016/03/Growing-Grapes-in-Wisconsin1.pdf I hope this is helpful.
