Traminette

[krafty_kraut]

I've read this is the state wine of Indiana! I've also seen TWC and VSP for canopy management due to high vigor, which is best for this variety?

I really like Gewurztraminer, so this is right up my alley!

Planting 50 Sunday to replace the ones the drought last year killed!

It should do alright for you in a zone 5b, but not any colder. I pulled mine last year after having them freeze three years in a row. While growing they were extremely vigorous. I think I would grow them TWC. I had tried them on 4arm-kniffen and they were a jungle.

On what style trellis?

Traninette is such a vigorous variety that it probably should be grown on a split canopy, such as Geneva Double Curtain or Lyre. It can be grown as a Vertical Shoot Positioned vine, but it is hard to tame the beast that way.
