THIS TYPE OF PRUNING IS CALLED VASE, GOBLET PRUNING OR HEAD-PRUNING OF THE VINES, BUT IN THIS CASE WE TIE THE LONG CANES TO A SINGLE WIRE TRELLIS AFTER FLOWERING.

THE HEAD-PRUNING VINES WE USE IN THIS CASE, HAVE A TRUNK OF 30-40 CMS HIGH WITH 3 OR 4 ARMS OR SHORT BRANCHES.

AT THE END OF THE ARMS THE SPURS ARE LEFT AND THEY WILL PRODUCE SHOOTS THAT WILL BEAR THE FRUIT. WHEN THE SHOOTS ARE VERY LONG, WE TIE THEM TO A VERTICAL WIRE, SO THE CLUSTERS WILL BE GROWN ON THE OUTSIDE, WITH AIR AND LIGHT TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY VINE.

WHEN THE DENSITY IS HIGH, THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE ROWS FOR EASY ACCESS.
