Update on layering a grape vine
In the previous post, “Layering A Grape Vine“, I showed you how to layer a grape vine. As your grape vine starts showing signs of new growth, you need to manage these layers in order to maximize the shoot growth of the new grape vine and to develop the frame work (cordons) of the new as quickly as possible.
This is what the new layer looks like after just a few weeks.
When the new shoots start developing from the buds on the cane you layered, you should remove them as soon as possible. This is a very simple process; just break them off by hand.
For those of you who has the Complete Grape Growers Guide; keep an insurance shoot and new training shoot as shown in the guide and train them up the training string as the pictures in the e-book shows you. Once the vine reach the trellis wires, you can split it (if your training system requires it) or simply train it to the cordon wires and start developing the frame work (as shown in the guide).
You will notice that a training shoot from a layered grape vine grows much faster than from a newly planted cutting. This is because it gets energy and nutrients from the original (old) grape vine.
I do hope this will help you manage your layered grape vine.
Take care
Danie

Hi Danie,
I have a question for you. What causes holes in grape leaves?

It must be something that is eating your vine - some insect.
Very difficult to say, as there are quite a few reasons for this

Hi,
Just planted my 2 vines last week. Sure wish they were as large as the ones shown in your pictures. Question about the e-book. How many pages to download and print? Not sure that my computer and printer can handle this. Keep the helpful hints coming. Velma

Hi Velma,
Thanks for enquiring about the Complete Grape Growers Guide.
Velma, the ebook is about 100 pages and 9 megabytes to download.
The ebook prints out exceptionally well, but you don’t have to print out everything - you can choose what to print or simply study the guide on your PC.
The download is really a simple and straight forward process and you don’t have to be a computer wiz to do it.
Hope this answer your question.
