Will i be notified on my email? thanx ----------trellis ----------4ft high veranda railing -----------ground level
You'll need to do some pruning on the vine. This link will help you out. http://extension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/hort/g06090.htm Concords will produce best on canes as opposed to spurs. The wood that grew this year will produce fruit for you next year. Don't be afraid to prune the vine back quite a lot. Cheers Kim
it's my first response please excuse if it's a repeat! Kim thanks so much for a very detailed source.I hope we'll be able to implement it. nightingale
