Grapevine Pruned at Wrong Time: Bleeding and Decline

Spring Pruning Causes Grapevine Bleeding and Dieback

Grapes must be pruned before Christmas (dormant). Spring pruning causes unstoppable sap bleeding, weakening the vine. No cure; the vine may die back to below the cut. Prune correctly next winter.
