Making the top cut on a grape cutting. Notice how far away from the node we make the cut. See how differently we treat the cut on the top of the cutting as opposed to the bottom of the cutting. This also helps you to tell the top of the cuttings from the bottom as you handle them.
The shoots or canes of new growth, which is where the grapes are produced, come from the buds set on the last yearâs growth. During the dormant season, shoots from last yearâs growth should be cut back to 2 to 3 buds. Shoots that arise from older wood usually do not produce fruit. The one-year-old wood is the only source of fruitful shoots on the vine.
