Can I grow my vines (white grapes) so that the "base"or "stalk" is
around 10 -15 feet long with no (trimmed off) leaves or off shoots, until it
gets high enough to get up to the roof line (of my house) and thus receive
full, day long, sunlight? The "stalk" is now in mostly shade (4 hours of
direct sunlight). I would then trim and prune the top part into an arbor and
encourage grape development only where it gets full sun.
I make wine from store purchased juice but would love to do from my own
vines. Right now the production and quality of my grapes are very low do to
the limited amount of sun on these vines. They were from my grandfather's
garden and he used to make wine from them, so I would love to carry on the
tradition but my spot to grow them is far from ideal. Thanks for any help.
