Various sites on the internet (USA sites) appear to be saying prune back to one flower per stem and those stems with no flowers prune back to the first leaf.
We need some help here !!! Do we prune OR do we wait and see what happens. My view is to prune but Elizabeth favours the 'wait-and-see' approach.
Has anyone any advice to offer us please.....

My orchard neighbour comes in and prunes if I don't do it at the correct times. I gather it is quite sinful not to prune. Ask your French neighbours. Seriously, I would prune. You need to trim again in late summer, taking off all the whippy excess growth and allowing the sun to get to the grapes, and prune hard in November, back to a couple of leaf buds on each shoot.
Thanks Susan. Prune it will be next week..
