Before I ever stepped a working foot into the vineyards, I honestly had no idea that there was so much to do all year round. I guess I just figured that a grapevine was similar to an apple tree. It grows the fruit, you harvest it, done. Pfffft, who needs school?Well, it turns out I was wrong about both.Though an apple orchard may not require as much training and care as a top-site vineyard, the trees do still benefit from pruning – just like a vine does.
