  Thanks Fidget.
  
  Im mostly worried that the amount of growth Im cutting off will harm the plant and the crop, but if that’s the way - I’ll get back to it.
  
  thanks.

  I had an arch collapse, my own fault and my own delays I haven’t been able to replace it so I have temporarily got it off the ground and hacked it back:
  
  
  

  
  

  Is the base okay?
  
  
  It’s got three woody branches out when I suspect there should only be one?
  
  
  

  
  

  And all that’s left 😢

  I think if you had grapes on them, you could have left them to ripen and then clipped the branches in winter after the leaves have dropped.

  Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
  

  And then my heart with pleasure fills,

  And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
