Time to Prune for a Bountiful Harvest
Winter is upon us, and it’s pruning time at Jester Hill Wines! As the vines rest, we prepare them for a prosperous season ahead. Pruning is essential to ensure the health and quality of our grapes, which means better wines for you to enjoy.
Why Does Pruning Matter?
- Healthier Vines: Removing old growth helps prevent disease and pest issues.
- Better Quality Grapes: Pruning ensures the vines concentrate their energy on producing the best fruit.
- Optimized Growth: Properly pruned vines result in more consistent and manageable growth patterns.
How Do We Prune Our Vines?
Our skilled team carefully trims each vine, removing excess shoots and dead wood. This meticulous process sets the stage for a vibrant spring bloom and a fruitful harvest season.
What’s Next
After pruning, our focus shifts to nurturing the vines through the remaining winter months. We’ll monitor the weather closely, protect the vines from frost, and prepare the soil for the upcoming growing season.
The big question remains … will we get snow this winter?
