Hello grape growers! <\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you know why and how you should remove lateral shoots on a young vine?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No? Okay, then this post will help you allot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Why do you need to remove lateral shoots? <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When you look at the picture below, you will notice the vine looks like a shrub with one shoot that is noticeably stronger than the rest. This is the shoot you will want to train to reach the trellis wire. Now, in order to grow this shoot (training shoot) as fast as possible, you will have to somehow channel all available energy to that shoot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
To do just that, you will have to remove all other growing points that compete for nutrients on the grape vine. In the picture below, you will see how I have removed all lateral shoots from this vine and left only the strongest, best developed shoot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you do this the correct way, your vine will soon look something like the following picture.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
This is an ongoing process during the first year of training your grape vine and should be done weekly. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a grape (great) day my friends!<\/div>\n
