Advice on a grapevine

[HowardCool]

Hi…my stupid mate has absolutely butchered my grape vine basically taking all the green shoots off with all the grapes on. The main vine is still there but I’m wondering will it ever recover? So angry it’s beyond words. Thanks for any help.

I’m sorry to hear about the damage to your grape vine—that’s really frustrating! The good news is grape vines are resilient and can often recover from severe damage.

Here’s what you can do:

• Assess the Damage - Check if the main vine and some of the woody structure are intact.
• Watering - Keep the vine well-watered but avoid overwatering.
• Pruning - Remove any dead or damaged parts to encourage new growth.
• Support - Provide stability to the main vine if needed.
• Fertilization - Use a balanced fertilizer once new growth appears.

With proper care, your grape vine should recover and start producing new shoots. It might take time, but patience will help.
