| If you can't find anyone, there's a really good set of diagrams on how to do it in the Sunset Western Garden Book. |

| You could also check whether you have any local landscape designers who specialize in edible landscapes - they would know how to train/prune them correctly. |

| Also, local nurserymen often have design and landscape people on their team. You might call one of them; particularly if they sell grapes and have been established for a long time in your area. |

| I live in Mountain View, and I was just pruning a commercial vineyard in Woodside this past weekend. If the vines have been trained well, pruning is pretty easy. (Sunset's Western Gardens does a good job of showing it.) Anyway, I wouldn't mind stopping by. Shoot me an email. If it's straight-forward, it shouldn't take very long. |
