Binding the canes

13 Mar 2016 – General

We are finished with the pruning, and the old wood has all been removed from the wire trellising.

Now we are taking the only remaining part of the vine, the so-called arc vine or cane, and binding it to the wire. In order to do this, the cane is taken from the vertical position with careful and measured pressure and bent downward onto the lowest wire, the arc-wire, and secured with a clamp.
