From the sound of it, your vine probably hasn’t been pruned for a while. That would be your first step. Because of the way grape vines grow and fruit, they should be pruned every year. You will want to choose some of the older wood to serve as the 鈥減ermanent鈥 framework to support the fruiting canes; pruning should be done to remove the previous year’s fruiting canes. The idea is to remove the canes that have fruited and keep the younger canes that have yet to fruit—each year you are making room for the following year’s fruit. It would be a good idea to get it pruned and onto a trellis now.
