Great responsibility

Now is the right time for winter pruning of vines. (In mid-February)
They say that the precondition for a high yield of vines is adequate pruning.
As my father has done so far, now I have to take on that responsibility and I have a huge nervousness not to prune wrongly.
I watched a bunch of video content and read a lot of texts on the subject.
We will see in the spring / summer whether I will succeed and finish a good pruning. Wish me luck, I can't mess this up
Have you ever had the opportunity to prune a vine?

@LadyDuck Yes, I would say that it is a slightly different pruning and that it is practically impossible to go wrong ... especially this applies to blackberries, I know from experience

@LadyDuck Everything is nicely explained, the most important thing is where to cut, and it is cut above the knot and this applies in general to all vines for cutting in the winter, I watched a lot of videos where they showed how high ... but I definitely have a stage fright because the first the way I do it

Mexican elder comes from the tropical region of Mexico and where I am it is dry and very hot rather than tropical so it suffers during parts of our year @LowRiderX Right now it is still green but the foliage is sparse.

@rebelann You have, I’m sure on the internet how to prune that species. I pruned my vine and now I’m eager to see if I’ve done well, I won’t know until the vegetation starts

@rebelann Do you protect it during the winter, wrap it in a bag, possibly a sack if it is planted outside?

I wonder what happens if man never touched any plants and just let them grow wildly?

@RebeccasFarm As for the grapes (vines) would be overgrown with weeds, and the fruits would be much smaller. I guess over time the plant would dry out because the weeds would 'eat' it.. and so more or less all the plants, I believe most of the weeds would be around us

@marlina Thank you, I think I pruned the vine well, we will see that when the vegetation starts, in a month ... but I am very impatient and I go around every day and look as if I will see something spectacular

@cacay1 I also live in a big city but my apartment is on the ground floor, so I have a yard-type terrace (American style) which is fenced and which I plan to completely redecorate this spring and I can't wait for the works to start

@LowRiderX Here, they teach the back-packers to do it as there are acres and acres of vines.

@Hannihar Nowadays, everything can be found on the internet and I am immensely grateful for that.. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have that option, because I don't have anyone in the environment who would do it for me

@sol_cee Watching her may not be a serious thing when she knows what she's doing I had to educate myself a bit about pruning first so I wouldn't make a mistake ... now I know a little more and I have practice, I pruned the vine
