Dying grape vine?
Helpful member
This is outside my usual sphere of operations so help is needed.
We planted a white grape vine at the side of the house about 10 years ago when we bought the place. It has grown very well over a metal frame attached to the side wall. Over the years we have had loads of lovely grapes from it. It extends over about 20ft on a number of branches.
A couple of years ago it was getting very leggy so I trimmed it back into shape (I am no expert in this) and as expected we did not get many grapes last year. The growers round here cut their vines virtually down to the floor every year.
This year it has woken up from its winter slumbers and all but one branch is dead, not a sign of life and the ends snap off. The branch that is growing looks fine.
So what has gone wrong and what is the best way forward from this point?
