-{{ :garden:about:plants:fruit:grapes:types:american:vine-anatomy.jpg?400|Traditional shape of a grape vine}}A properly trained vine grows into this shape. The first pair of cordons to form are wrapped around the lowest wire of the trellis. In practice the cordon is allowed to extend for a second row trained to a trellis wire about 2 feet above.\\

+<note tip>Pruning such an extended cordon just below the top wire will cause it to send out two branches, which can be wrapped around the top wire, extending the cordon and training each to the top wire.</note>
