    I planted several grape vines last spring on a trellis. How far back should I trim them before this growing season?

    This one is my favorite:

    Note that it applies specifically to vinifera (typically european wine grapes) which are trained upwards from the support wire. Many of the American or hybrid grapes are trained to a higher wire and grow downwards.
