  • which direction is the best direction to plant the tree rows ?

    thank you!

  • great vid. thanks

  • FSU - The vine would overproduce fruit and much of it would not ripen, leaving it unsuitable for wine production.

  • I have 3 varieties of grapes that are on a trellis that is 30 ft long. The vines are twenty years old and it looks like something out of a horror show. I have attempted to trim the vines but it seems I doubled the amount of vines the next year. So I'm guessing I need to get in and trim everything but my two best vines out off the main trunk and cut the main trunk off just above those two vines? Then how many buds on each of the two vines do I leave?

    Or should I rip them out and start over?

  • Grape trees!

  • Nice.......

    how does the s04 work for you?

    I like its vigor, 3309 is lower quality vigor.

    what kind of soil do you have?
