Does anyone have any thoughts on leaf removal? Near the stump, some of my
leaves are beginning to look "weathered." At what point do these leaves take
more from the plant than they produce and should they be pruned?
Thanks,

I remove them when they are just about totally gone. If they fall over I
remove them right away so they don't prevent SVB Spray from getting to the
vine.
