Ginda,

how are you pruning your grape vine? How you prune may indicate your lack of fruit problem.

Grapes fruit from one year old wood. You remove about 90% of the vines, leaving selected one year old vines for fruit production.

So the question gets back to how you prune.

My grape vine has set fruit for the first time in ~5 years. It seems
to have about 10 clusters of seed-sized fruits. The vine is not
large, as I keep it pruned to cover an archway.

Should I remove some of the clusters? How close together can they
be, or do you prune grapes differently?

(I'm surprised to notice the baby clusters mostly extend upward from
the vine. Who knew?)

Thanks,
