Dan, If you want the USPS to continue loosing mail it is only fair we pay more for postage. Loosing mail is a hard job and it is only just we compensate the...
Foch is real early and Vignoles is relatively late to budbreak. Budbreak is roughly in between but closer to Vignoles. I train Cayuga to a high wire cordon, at...
I have a few regrowing shoots from damaged vine last year that I let grow up to a 6 foot top wire. Thought I would let them express themselves there.Previously...
Hi All, I have 2nd year vines that are growing nicely. On one of the vines, towards the top of the vine, I have noticed red spots. It is not on the leaves, it...
PD, Is that the same as the "Hudson River Umbrella", sometimes called a "High Cordon?" Does that require downward shoot positioning, or do the shoots just go...
It might be the same, I will find out. I know they call it Kniffen Umbrella training, they take one or two trunks to the top wire and then bend two to four...
Paul, To my understanding, the Kniffen is different from a Hudson River Umbrella (HRU). http://ssfruit.cas.psu.edu/292.htm The HRU is cordon/spur pruned, and...
Hudson River Umbrella and Kniffen Umbrella are different training / trellising methods. See the following link: http://ssfruit.cas.psu.edu/285.htm Broken tops...
I am not a big fan of cane pruning for Cayuga. It is a very brittle sort of variety that has moderately heavy clusters and canes just move around too much. I...
Here in Oregon Cayuga's growth is ideal for cordons with spurs. The shoots are upright and very easy to get on the catch wires, and there isn't a mass of...

So Keith, your just letting them hang on their own without supports? It sounds like Lon is using a vsp spur. I prefer to use a single top wire cordon if that...
Here in southern New Hampshire we used the Geneva double-curtain training system on our De Chaunac with good results. As I recall this was recommended by...

I dont see that system catching on. It looks way too complicated. And it would require two years to renew trunks. It is interesting with the no-tie cane, but...

I have tried it or something similar, but don't like the hedging and the canes on a cordon remind me of volume oriented table grape production. I think he has...
Yep, I let them hang. I find the less I touch Cayuga after pruning the better. Keith SRV ... From: JWyman <victoriacreek@...> To: grapesrus@yahoogroups.com...

Hi Everyone: What is the recomended trellis system for Louise Swenson. I have started with a small quantity on VSP and does not seem to be the best route to...
Recently purchased our first home in Virginia ... discovered in the spacious backyard, we are the owners of a small vineyard(?) well, it is an overgrown mass...
It's still early enough in the season to prune, if the vines have only missed one year. If they have gone unpruned for several years, it will be harder to...

I have a question concerning my Norton vines. Although my vines have been easy to establish (7 years old now), turning them into wine has been more of a...
Mine arent up to the wire yet, but I was planning on using a VSP Spur on them, my young vines seem to grow upright. So I am curious, what problems are you...
... I don't have any mature Norton vines (I'm trying to get one started now), but I have read everything I can find on this unusual grape. I understand that...
Last year I trained the vines up to the first wire and formed cordons along the wire. This year I left about 6 buds on each cordon and the growth seems to be...
No but I would like to here from someone who has. Mine are 2nd year cuttings. Maybe they want to hang over and a single top wire would work better, like the...
I followed that discussion on the Cayuga. I have Cayuga and found it to work well on VSP. As it has been said, there is no ONE right way to do anything...
This got me to thinking... is there a site with database that shows which trellis/training system works best a certain variety? For example, my 1st year...
