I have a third year backyard grapevine. I let it go wild last year and did not have a trellis set up for it until today. It has put on about 1 month of growth. I noticed on one of the canes that I want to place on my fruiting wire, there is a middle section of no shoots (just buds that are...
Newbie here. Growing table grapes using VSP trellis. Variety is unknown.
It's a third year grapevine. I got too busy to prune it just before emerging from dormancy. And it put on 1 month of growth.

The concept is amazing. You would think something like this would be more common, but I guess most...

I just came back from by backyard and was inspecting it very closely. If you give a horizontal surface for the shoots to rest on, they will rest on it. However, lateral shoots coming from that shoot are oriented upward. So does that make it upright growing?
I believe any shoot will start...
I am trying to grow some grapes in my backyard as a newbie. I have a grapevine in its second year that needs to be trellised badly. My two options are VSP or TWC.

My question is: I do not know...
