ive been looking into pruning to prepare myself as much as possible and ended up more confused than before. i understand the whole idea of pruning but what i dont understand is what do you do with the male. every video i seen showed people pruning female vines that will bear fruit but none showed anything being done to the male and i was told the male has to be within a certain distance of the female or she will not bear fruit. i have a male and female started on my trellis will i prune him and the female?? will he bear fruit as well or is he just there to pollinate the female?? these are muscadine vines by the way.
