I have a new pergola, and an older grape vine that grows from a large pot (south east England, in an east facing garden). It usually bears a few bunches of grapes and seems generally quite happy. We do cut it back after fruiting each year so it probably only puts on about 5ft growth a season, and grows over a small structure.
I'm wondering about setting it to grow over the new pergola which will have as much sunlight as this garden offers. Would I need to prune it back every year or would it look awful in the winter?
