    I have grape vines along a fence they have had no fruit for a least the last 5 years, I don't know the age of the vines. I would like to know if there is anything I can do so they will bear fruit
    Thankyou B Fortin

    Prune "vigorously" this winter/early spring. Grapes fruit only on the current year's canes, and on big old vines it seems sometimes they just don't bother. Leave 4 - 6 spurs with 2-4 buds each. If it looks like a massacre then you've probably cut enough.
