Blogger was down last week, so I skipped an update, but here it is.
We started pruning last Monday. It is only the big producers that needed to start, the smaller producers will start in June/July. Pruning the old bush vines isn't very complicated. The vines are formed already. Things that is important is leaving renewal shoots and building arms for balance. I will explain all of this with some sketches later on. For now, I just want to show you some pictures of the pruned vines. We prune the vines in two phases. The second and final phase is as close to budding as possible.
This specific block is a Chenin blanc that is 26 years old.
