This is my first winter pruning my new vines here in Indiana . I let them bush out this first year and tried to train a couple trunks. Would someone be kind enough to take a look at a few pictures and give me some pruning advice please?
1)My Corot Noir Vines all had a horrible growing season for some reason, not even reaching first wire. How low do I actually prune that back?
2)Trunks on most made it all the way to top wire and also grew out 4 feet on each side- pencil thick. Should I use those as cordons for this year or cut below top wire and train two new shoots to establish cordon?
Most everything else, Marquette, Traminette,Brianna, Noiret, Concord and Steuben all made it to six feet top wire and are pencil thick.
3)rub off all buds below mid wire this year after I prune down to one single trunk?
4)4 cordons or just two on top wire?
Thanks!
