grape vine
There is a huge one in our garden which I pruned quite heavily this year
although I left a lot. What is left now appears dead - the bits snap off in a very like dead wood kind of way. Is this normal or is it an ex vine? If so is it my pruning or the weather that's to blame (it is on a west facing fence). -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |

I pruned some vines last week and the sap was still not flowing. David -- David Rance http://www.mesnil.demon.co.uk Fido Address: 2:252/110 writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |

And do consider what they've been going through, too. I hope it's not dead but I certainly wouldn't write it off at this stage of the year! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon |

I was instructed to remove the dead wood so, I usually prune them back until
I can see some green in the fresh cut. Dwayne (from Kansas) "H Ryder" wrote in message ... There is a huge one in our garden which I pruned quite heavily this year although I left a lot.
