This book contains a collection of vintage articles on managing a grapevine, with a special focus on pruning and trimming. These timeless articles have been carefully selected for a modern readership, and will be of considerable utility to farmers and gardeners with a practical interest in growing grapes. The articles include: “Theory and Practice of Pruning and Training”, “Pruning and Management”, “Trimming”, “Vine Pruning”, “Pruning Young Vines and the Sultanas”, “Pruning and Training”, and “Time to Prune, and Pruning and Training”. All of the articles have been written by experts in the field, making this both a useful handbook and a worthy addition to collections of vintage fruit growing literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on wine making.
