Training young vines

The classical form

Typical shape of a grape vineIn practice the cordon is allowed to extend for a second row trained to a trellis wire about 2 feet above.



When to begin

Training needs to be done after first season of growth to approximate the desired shape, but sometimes this gets delayed.

Then it's necessary to take some changes on re-training them.

No training

This is an untrained grape vine. It's future would likely show poorer production and lower quality grapes. Poorly trained vineMultiple stems from the crown of the plant, extending to the trellis wires.

Second try

Third season training

Pruning after the second season. Cordons extending directly from the crown of the plant were trimmed off, leaving a gap of the cordon above, The vine will extend ordons that don't reach the desired height in the following season .
