Hi Dragonfly,

Welcome to the forum. It is a very nice looking tree. If you post pics of the main crop inside and out when it is ripe, there may be someone here who could help you identify it.

Good luck!

I doubt that the grape will hurt the tree. Next winter you can move the grape when it is dormant. Unless it's roots are too tangled with the fig. Other than that, they are probably just fine together. Lucky you! Grapes and figs too!!

Grapes need to be pruned before they bud out in the spring. In the winter, their leaves fall off, and you will have a bunch of sticks with bumps on them. The bumps are buds. Each bud holds leaves, grapes, and shoots. In the spring, the buds will swell up and get fuzzy, then they will burst forth with green leaves and flower clusters. When pruning the grape, be sure to leave some buds so you get grapes next year. If you cut them all off, you won't have grapes.

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses!
It looks like my vine is not actually a grape - though it's definitely something related (it's starting to make greenish-white berries, but they're pointing up rather than hanging down like grapes). I guess I'll just see what it does this summer, and then prune it back heavily in the fall so it doesn't completely take over the tree.

I'll post pics of the figs when they are ripe - It looks like I'm going to be giving away baskets of them! :-)
