Hi Grape Friends,<\/p>\n

I received this email from Rick, a member of the Complete Grape Growing System<\/a>.\u00a0 From the email he send me, it seems like he knows what to do – how to start constructing the framework of the grape vines, however he ran into some difficulties along the way.<\/p>\n

By the way, Rick’s grape vines look great, and it’s always a pleasure to assist you guys wherever (whenever \ud83d\ude10 ) I can.<\/p>\n

NOTE:\u00a0 The text in red,\u00a0are my replies.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Background info:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 I live in _________ , Arizona, USA. We live in a desert and summer temps are extreme. Temps of 110-115 degrees (F) are common in July & August. Our growing season is long lasting from March-November. I just got my first grape plants and I’m hoping to get “first year growth” before night time temps get cold in November.<\/p>\n

I just got some grape plants and bought your system last week. I’ve modified an existing arbor to accommodate the grapes. The arbor was built to provide mid-day and afternoon shade. I decided to plant grapes there last minute. The plants I was given are very young and some don’t appear to be in very good condition. I have a few questions:(since I took these pictures I’ve pulled the wires tight.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    The vine (training shoot) had no growing point when I got it. It’s long enough to reach the first two wires and in the few days since I planted, the buds have begun to sprout. These are going\u00a0 to be lateral shoots? correct? This is what I want to be happening, correct?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rick, that is absolutely correct.\u00a0 These lateral shoots will one day be the cordon or arms on which you will prune the spurs or canes – depending on what pruning method you will choose.\u00a0I zoomed in on the picture (below), to show you guys what Rick was referring to.\u00a0 See those small leafs, they will develop into shoots that must be trained on the horizontal trellis wires.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    I’m hoping to get lateral shoots to grow out in the next 8 weeks before temps fall. Do you think I’m too late in the season?<\/p>\n

    No, I don’t think so.\u00a0 Since your growing season will be over in November, much growth can still be expected – if you stick to the methods I show in the <\/span><\/strong>Grape Growing System.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    2. The training shoot in the photo (below)\u00a0had a nice growing point and had added two inches in just a couple days. This morning it was damaged. Will this give me any lateral shoots this season? Or will I have to prune this back in winter and begin again next spring?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Yes.\u00a0 See where the red arrow is; this\u00a0tiny shoot that is developing here, can be used as a new growing point to train your grape vine to the trellis wires.\u00a0 New lateral shoots below this point\u00a0will also develop, and can either be removed or used for developing\u00a0a cordon on the pipe – if that is what you want to do.\u00a0 Personally I think it is too close to the ground to develop arm here.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3. Photo shows a nice training shoot with good growing point that has added 2+ inches in the few days since I planted it. The first two wires are 8 & 16 inches above the bar. Should I let it grow taller or pinch off the growing point and hope to develop a few lateral shoots in the next 8 weeks?<\/p>\n

    Rick, as shown in the Complete Grape Growing System, you will have to let the vine grow pass the top wire and then remove the growing point, so lateral shoots can develop.\u00a0 These lateral shoots will be used to cover the trellis wires.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Thanks for any info\/advice you can give me.<\/p>\n

    I’ve spent hours reading and re-reading your e-book this past week and I’m really excited to begin my little vineyard.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Rick<\/p>\n

    Thanks Rick for sharing your pictures with us.\u00a0 If there are any questions, feel free to post a comment on this blog post.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Take care everyone<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
