IT IS A CANE-PRUNED SYSTEM WITH SPURS. THEREFORE IT IS CALLED MIXED PRUNING, A COMBINATION OF SPURS (2 BUDS) AND CANES (8 -10 BUDS).

THE CANE BUDS GROW INTO SHOOTS THAT WILL PRODUCE BUNCHES THE FOLLOWING SEASON. THE SPUR BUDS PRODUCE SHOOTS THAT CAN BE USED AS CANES THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

IN DOUBLE GUYOT, TWO SPURS AND TWO CANES ARE RETAINED. THESE CANES ARE BENT OVER THE WIRE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A CURVED GUYOT SYSTEM.
