Interesting video. I have been watching many pruning videos. Everyone does it differently. Though, one common factor is getting the vine up higher in cold climates. I too switched to single, upper cordons. The lower never ripened at the same time as the upper and often was shaded by the top. A few years ago I switched to T trellises. I'm a homesteader so it can work for me. I have much larger vines and pick by hand. You are a commercial grower so you plant and prune for ease of harvesting. I don't need to be concerned with that. One suggestion is that you inform people that your way of pruning is for commercial vines. For a home gardner or homesteader, we can prune differently. For instance, we can prune for larger vines that have more leaves, strengthening the vine and protecting it from overcropping. If we see too many clusters we can always thin them out. I'm thinking your vines are more susceptible to overcropping because the root systems are smaller because a lot of the shoots and leaves are removed. I'm also curious if your early method of vine development actually slows the root growth down. Less leaves makes for less roots. Just my observation and experience. Though, I am in no way an authority for commercial vine growing. I simply grow grapevines for home production., where one vine can produce 18 gallons of wine with no problem when it is mature with a bull trunk. On that note, I notice your older vines have bull trunks with single trunks. I find that single bull trunks overwinter better than multiple trunks. Thanks for the video!
