Vine Training

 

Additional wires are being added to create a new training system called vertical shoot positioning. This system is being used more predominantly for vinifera in growing regions in the state such as Yadkin Valley

The trellis was originally designed as a mid wire cordon, since it's simplier and less costly, but it is not as suitable for the varieties being grown. VSP maximizes sunlight exposure, creating more of a hedge than a canopy as the foliage is tucked between sets of wires.
