Grape Pruning 101 Workshop/Roca, Nebraska

NEWS FLASH: GRAPE PRUNING 101 WORKSHOP SATURDAY MARCH 30, 2024 AT CAPITOL VIEW WINERY

Grape pruning for beginners (“Grape Pruning 101”) will be held beginning at 9:00 am on March 30 at Capitol View Winery, 2361 Wittstruck Road, Roca, Nebraska.  Although this half-day workshop is targeting grape growers that are relatively new to pruning, there will be time for experienced pruners to learn a few new tricks also (“Pruning 102”?).  Bring your own hand pruners (“secateurs”, as the British would say J).  Pruning equipment, including battery-powered pruners, will be demonstrated, and adaptation to trellis systems will also be discussed.  There will be plenty of time for questions and hands-on experiences.

COST? FREE!  Questions?  Call or email Paul 402-540-9309, pread1@unl.edu; or Steve 402-416-9763, sgamet@unl.edu

ALSO SAVE The DATE! A Field Day will be held on April 17, for another hands-on educational opportunity for the grape industry, sponsored by the University of Nebraska Viticulture Program and the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association to be held at Miletta Vista Winery, St. Paul Nebraska.  This Field Day will provide advice and experiences for important early growing season management, including some examples of trellis system make-overs and observation of performance of new and emerging cultivars.   More content and registration details will be coming soon.  Check our web site: https://viticulture.unl.edu and watch for your next issue of the Nebraska VineLines.
