  • @abby6211

    Thank you for not bating my head off...:-))))

    Cheers from the land down under...;-)

  • @carobnjak1957 I allow some of the tendrils to attach to the bamboo shoot. I do cut some of them off near the base of the plant once the lateral has attached itself firmly to the grow tube, whether I have tied it to the bamboo shoot or the plants own tendrils have attached themselves. However, you make a good observation.

  • well done...I would just add that at this point of time the Tendrils serve no purpose and they should be removed...they just take away a lot of energy that the lateral needs to grow ...and its all about reaching the top wire as soon as possible...once the crown is created and arms are on the wire... that is when you leave the tendrils on the laterals...

    Cheers...

  • what is a grow tube? it looks like a gutter spout. does it protect the plant? should i use one on all 1st year plants and propagation transplants.

  • This is a great start to growing some of that delicious Muscadine wine. Check out the video for "Muscadine Wine" by Ken Will Morton on my Youtube channel!

  • thank you for the help, i was trying to just let it grow on my 4 foot fence lol i'll try to get something a little higher

  • Thanks for the comment.

  • Realize that a concord grape vine has a downward growth habit so train the arms at 5-6 feet up the fence and realize that the vine will grow downward shoots. The fruit will be on the new shoots each year.

  • The grow tube acts like a mini greenhouse to accelerate plant growth. It also protects the young plant from rabbits and deer that feed on the young leaves and from herbicides that may be used in the vicinity of the vine.

  • Thanks for the help. What does the grow tube do?
