Just make sure you use strong enough canes and prune some renewal spurs close to the trunk of the vine as well.

Should I cut all of the canes back and leave only the strongest central trunk (more a branch, really) or can I keep some of the horizontal canes to try to get some fruit this season? The plant is 3-4 years old, and did bear fruit last year. Query: I have an untrained vine that grew wild on a trellis that I want to train to the four-arm Kniffen system.
