I’m confused. In the 4 arm kniffin video you suggested that it is no longer used and has evolved to a top tier cordon system, much like this one. Yet this video doesn’t seem as bullish on this method. Did I miss something?
I just started last year with hardwood starts. Many of my plants were not able to "make it" to the top trellis to establish a cordon. Near the trunk at the ground there are also no new spurs. Is it acceptable to use spurs off of last years arm to create the cordons?
Tom I Have a question; I have a small vineyard with 77 vines trained for top cordon. But last year we had a drought and the buds are under developed. Now just sprouting sporadic and most with no grapes, except on lower shouts. So now it seems I have to start all over with new laterals. Is this correct or not?
Great illustration and explanation w.Adv. vs.Disadv. Best for beginner winsors to follow. YT is a better place than a university !
This was some great info! I really appreciate the hard work you have obviously out into this.
tom thank you for your videos !!!
Right now, I'm heavily leaning towards doing this top-wire cordon training system with my 2 Himrod grapevines.
Thank you!
You mentioned spraying to keep them healthy, so what do you spray with and when do you spray
