I have a large, and probably very old, grape vine growing on the west edge of the pasture/orchard and think I ought to cultivate it to see if it will produce something usable. Here's some photos of the vine.
As you can see, it's almost two inches thick, and pretty healthy. I'm really interested in seeing what kind of grapes it produces.
It goes well up into a smallish Maple, and a pretty tall Tulip Poplar, most of the grapes are probably up there.
I'm wondering if I can prune it back in the fall, and bring it out from where it's growing, not dig it up, but just reroute it out to a trellis where it can be controlled and the grapes harvested. Anyone done this with wild grapes before?
