Finally found this video where I could tell the “teacher” knew what he was doing and talking about! Full of helpful tips! I knew concord required a different pruning method and you are also the first one to aptly explain how and why! Thanks so much!

Thanks for coming

[@getochko]

Just for curiosity: What planting density do you apply (in-between vine distance and row distance) for the top-wire-cordon grapes?

[@WollersheimWinery]

6-8 feet between the vines should be about right.

[@Sam-tg4ii]

Is this appropriate for grape varieties suitable for cane pruning or spur pruning?

[@WollersheimWinery]

Without more information on your specific case, this is the best answer we can provide: Different grape cultivars exhibit varying responses to pruning methods. While some thrive with cane pruning, others fare better with spur pruning, and some are versatile enough to accommodate either approach. In our practice, we exclusively employ spur pruning for its efficiency, allowing for a faster process in a single pass. If you opt for cane pruning, it's important to note that canes must be securely fastened each year. Additionally, it can be beneficial to rejuvenate the cordon periodically by introducing a new cane as needed.

Any videos on first years of small diameter fresh BETA/Concord shoots? They don't survive outdoors and there seems to be dangerous transition to outdoors if grown indoors in Winter. I don't really understand dormancy in shoots.

[@WollersheimWinery]

We only use concord for staff and our sister winery's festival, so we don't deal with them much. That being said, if you give us a call we may be able to offer a tip or two.

[@deewells1965]

@@WollersheimWinery I am near Uppsala (Sweden), calling would be expensive, but thanks. As some moons have passed, what little experience I now have is that potted BETA shoots kept indoors during Winter (no growth during this time) and moved to an unheated greenhouse in April, survive there through the following Winter. We had a strange "double winter" this year. Some days around -14C in Jan-Feb, then some Spring warming for a couple weeks (we thought Winter was behind us), and then back to -14 C at night. Despite this, the buds are now starting to break and growth seems imminent.

[@wilhallman2890]

Why not cover the vines during the winter or if it's going to frost in the spring?

[@WollersheimWinery]

Covering and uncovering more than 30 acres on a slope isn't feasible for spring frosts, and our varieties do well through winter.
