Hi,
I have 20 vines along a fence that have been growing well. Syrah vines trained on cordons and spur pruned VSP. Each year the fruit gets a little higher on the fence based on last years wood etc. The cordons are higher than I want anyway so dropping them is of interest.
With my limited knowledge I see my options to bring the fruit back down and have enough leaves above is to:
- let new shoots from the cordon grow (no fruit first year) then fruit after.
- somehow induce new buds on an old truck. Is this possible without major surgery?
Anyone have any recommendations?
Many thanks.
