I'm sorry to take up space but I did a search hear and on google and didn't get as clear an answer as I was looking for...
What exactly does it mean to "pinch" a vine? I didn't know if it meant to snip it off or literally pinch. I only ask because I bought 2 year plus Noble muscadines from Ison's and one is already on my trellis. I've read about pinching the vine at this point to get shoots growing each way but also saw on Ison's video or somewhere where you just train the shoot to one side and opportunistically catch a shoot heading the other way off a bud. Just wasn't sure...
