Why do we need TO PRUNE SOFT?
How many years do you want your vines to produce fruit?
40-50 years minimum?
Soft pruning is about respecting the sap flow of the vine and minimising any possible pruning damage. By doing this we can promote vine longevity and grape production for decades.
- Reduce both die-back and trunk disease, eliminating the need for costly replanting.
- Build the correct soft pruning structure into the vine and Increase sap flow, making pruning decisions quick and easy.
- Minimise pruning wounds and protect the cambium layer of the vine so that the vines produce premium fruit for decades.
It only takes one wrong cut to cause severe trunk damage, which will ultimately reduce a vine's production value. However, this can easily be avoided with the correct Soft Pruning techniques.
Soft Pruning
Made Easy!
Does this sound like you?
You're a viticulturalist and pruning enthusiast who wants to master the skill and technique of soft vine pruning.
But you can't get easy-to-access information on how to apply soft pruning techniques to your vineyard.
You struggle to find the right people to help you learn and apply soft pruning and often have to rely on unskilled crews to prune for you each year!
Right now, you believe soft pruning is slow and is too hard to teach to a labour crew.
In short, you're a viticulturist and pruning enthusiast who wants to master and teach these skills—and you want them now!
Well, I can tell you I was in the same position!
By the way, my name is Owen. I'm a vineyard manager in the Yarra Valley in Australia, and for the past six years, I have been on a mission to learn and master the skill of soft pruning.
In the past six years, I have had the opportunity to plant new vineyards and begin their establishment, manage premium old vines, and rejuvenate vines that had suffered from significant pruning wounds, all using soft pruning techniques!
This has been a fantastic opportunity, but I didn't just develop these techniques myself; they have been around for over 100 years or potentially more!
The exciting thing is these techniques and pruning principles are being brought back to life by the Poussard Pruning system and the work of Francoir Dal, Simonit & Sirch, Marceau Boundaries, and the Australian viticulturist Dylan Grigg, who has guided me in my soft pruning journey.
Having access to these world-renowned viticulturists as mentors has been incremental to building my own understanding of vines and the importance of soft pruning!
It may have taken me 6 years to understand how to apply these concepts, but I guarantee it doesn't have to take that long for you!

It's time to rethink how you prune your vines.
HARD Pruning is out!
Do you know the effect of' hard' pruning on the vine's sap flow? Without any care for the vine's sap flow, hard pruning can cause scaring and blockages to the sap flow, limiting the longevity of your vines.
Pruning cuts, big or small, can cause significant dry back within the vine, which can often not be seen until the vine is cut open.
SOFT Pruning is in!
Don't keep making these hard-pruning mistakes.
There is hope! Reworking an old, hard-pruned vineyard is achievable. Maintaining the health of the vines each year with Soft Pruning techniques is the way to achieve productive longevity in your vineyard and avoid future trunk dryback.
