In this livestream from last workweek , I talked about multiple gardening ideas I want to adjust to my Grocery Row Gardening organisation . One of them was to develop grapes on posts , straight up , rather like Tree . Beneath that video , Andrew left this comment:“David , I ’m growing grapes up in Michigan in that manner , and it ’s call off “ head breeding , ” if you want something to enquiry . I ’ve also realize this referred to as “ gobelet preparation , ” as in the form resembles a chalice , but we have to stick an extra “ e ” in there because Europe . Very old system . Also worth looking into is using a hot elm tree tree diagram as the living for the vine ; I believe the elm is maintain as a pollard so it does n’t shadow out the grapeshot . This combining is very ancient , being refer to in ancient Greece as “ husband ” ( the elm tree tree diagram ) and “ wife ” ( the vine ) . There ’s a PDF float around out there that ’s of an sometime ( 1950s I conceive ) clause that goes reasonably in depth on this . For some cause that I ca n’t remember or maybe it was never really spelled out , but they typically would use elm trees for this purpose . Really interesting stuff that I think is deserving reckon into . If you need a copy , just allow me know – I have it somewhere on my phone , but the file name is weird , so it does n’t show up in my search results , so I ’d have to look through a whole mess of downloads . ”I would care to see that pdf!My thought process was to grow the grape rather likethe Chinese in Grenada were growing flying lizard yield : Posts , with a broad “ wheel ” or piece of something on top to lead them sideways . Except that I be after to go higher with the post , so the grapes fruited overhead . However , I looked up the method Andrew mentions and it face like the grape are just trained onto a post and then pruned so multiple spurs go out sideway from the top with no supernumerary support call for . by all odds something I will experiment with . I just govern eight bullace grape vines fromIsons Nursery , so stay tune . They should come in a few months , as Isons ships during dormancy . I like the idea of skipping the funding telegram and just growing them in a columnar fashion in between other crops .
