Cane Pruning.



The Regent vine has made a lot of growth this year. With such a large  number of canes to choose from only two or three well placed canes are needed to produce next years crop.

Here most of last years growth has been pruned away leaving these three canes (there is one cane behind the trellis).



A huge difference I think you'll agree. Since the shoots can't be trained in opposite directions because of space limitations they are trained in the same direction making tying in and growth positioning even more important during the next growing season.
