We are pruning the winter hardy cultivars of grapes first and will prune the less hardy cultivars later in the winter. Dr. Anson Elliott decided to check on the pruning progress on this bright and sunny day. Randy, Aaron, Manny and Kellis were pruning the Norton block in the Research Vineyard while Shelia and Jeremy were taking wood weights in the Catawba block. After the Norton block is complete, they will move into the Catawbas.
