they should be pruned in spring ,they should be cut at the bud so they will form a new shoot also something to climb on will help the fruit from getting a fungus this is a very old type of fruiting vine . these vines are not cheap anymore they cost a lot to replace if you can even find a place that carries them sometimes they have to order them if you have a large vine after you prune it you can cut it up into cuttings and tie them up in a bundle then stick them in sand and they will take root you can also sell them to nurseries as cuttings ,
