Hello, I need some advice on where to prune.
This a Vanessa hybrid, last year was the first crop, so I think 2014 will be the 5th or 6th summer here in Southern New England.
My biggest issue is where to prune C. Would leaving both C1 and C2 be possibility, since they aren't close to the head, or depending on the balance needed for the plant? Or would I prune C vine to one cane?
Should I leave a renewal spur on A, even though it would be above the B cane?
It seems I am 'cane' pruning, does this mean renewal spurs aren't needed, or is it possible to do both.
Any general or specific advice, much appreciated. Thank you.
