ROEDING’S QUALITY GRAPEVINES |... STANDARD FOR OVER 50 YEARS 
HOW TO GROW GRAPEVINES SUCCESSFULLY 
Planting: Grapevines should be planted during January, February and March. 
Before planting, trim off all roots except the main roots at the base of cutting and 
shorten these to two or three inches. Prune the top two buds on a single spur 
and place the plants in a bucket of water until ready to plant. Dig spacious holes 
and set the single spur about two inches above ground level while filling in with 
top-soil about the roots. Firm the soil with a slow stream of water. 
Pruning: Quick results are obtained by throwing all of the top growth into a 
single cane during the first growing season. Train it straight up to form the central 
trunk for your vine. In the next winter, prune the laterals back to two buds on all 
varieties except Thompson Seedless. Begin training the laterals of this variety 
during the first growing season. Reason: Thompson Seedless fruit arises from two- 
year wood; in other varieties fruit is borne on current season's growth.

FLAME TOKAY 

Train laterals arising from the main trunk during the second summer hori- 
zontally. Trim secondary laterals arising from these horizontal canes back to two 
buds in the second winter. Upon establishing a complete framework, continue to 
trim all canes back to two buds each winter. Exception: Thompson Seedless 
requires a continuous reserve of canes for following-year production. 
Cultural: Do not irrigate grapevines too frequently, resulting in watery, taste- 
less fruit. Three good irrigations during the summer will suffice under average 
conditions. A mulch of well-rotted cow manure applied two months after planting 
will force strong growth useful in building a good framework quickly. Watch your 
vines closely in fall for mildew, and dust with a good grade of dusting sulphur as 
soon as the first sign of mildew is apparent. Follow up with other applications 
when conditions warrant.
