Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Braiding grapevines
« on: April 12, 2024, 04:40:57 AM »I grew a Dixie and a Triumph decades ago on a 10x12 arbor, each planted on opposite corners. Each season they grew together so thickly I could get up there and walk across them. Tons of fruit. I wouldn't recommend braiding them and I would give them a little more space than one foot as well. After a few years the "trunks" get pretty thick and gnarled. I would use #9 galvanized wire and a couple of 8' 4x4 posts buried 2 feet deep. Those vines can really stress whatever they're growing on. Good luck!Yeah I understand why the commercial people have a standardized way of doing things because they want maximum amount of berries pervine. I just thought maybe a landscaper or a monk who took a vow celibacy did a controlled crash experiment just to see artistically what they could create. In nature sometimes trees fuse trunks together and they do some pretty wacky things with plants and trees. Thanks
for answering I like your Arbor idea I may go that route. I'm sure the squirrels will like that idea too🙂
