Pruned too late???
I live in Wisconsin, and the weather is just now warming up. So
earlier this week, I pruned my concord grapevine (which has never really been pruned, and it's in its third year). Now, 3 days later, I go to check on it, and where I pruned the lowest (a spot about 2 feet from the ground), there's quite a bit of water (?) coming out of the spot. Did I kill my grapevine??? Do I need to somehow stop it? Thanks for any and all help! Jeff |

Perfectly normal. Every thing is OK.

That's a good sign. The "ideal" pruning occurs as soon before bud break
as possible - which means that he pruning cuts will weep. Don't worry about it. On 2008-04-23 15:22:59 -0700, F > said: > I live in Wisconsin, and the weather is just now warming up.
