In this particular context of spring frosts, different questions may arise: what is the point of cutting a risky plot late?Unlike early pruning (December), late pruning (late March) will delay bud buds, which will be less exposed to spring frosts. This delay is in the range of 7 to 10 days, which can save 30-50% of the buds.Once the vine is pruned, a late junction keeps the most developed buds at the end of the rod away from the ground, thus limiting the impact of frost.
