    We have a rampant grape vine in our back garden, problem is it belongs to our landlord and therefore we are a little scared of pruning it. Its beautiful but too big. Is there anything that can be done at this time of year??

    Hi Gem and Al, sorry we missed you.
    At this time of the year any grape vine can be pruned safely as long as you dont cut into old wood, (last years growth) and of course your not worried about getting any grapes.
    As far as I know, Brandt is more of an ornamental, so if its too big, cut it back by all means, but not too hard.
    You can cut it harder back during the winter if you want.
