I have a scuppernong in my back yard. I trim it probably every two weeks from the spring through harvest time in the fall. But I am limited in area in the yard. I cut back a lot of the new really small growth to keep it from being a crazy bush.

It has a horizontal run about 12 feet long and an arch in the opposite direction. Every year my yield has increased. I got 7 1/2 lbs. last year.

If you had more space and could let it go wild I bet you could get away with trimming it monthly. I will also add that I never completely cut mine back to the main stems though.

This vine is at least 60' already.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with it.
I've got plenty of room to put up posts and wire for the whole thing.
