when you get new vines in from a nursery or ones that you've gotten growing from

cuttings they're only going to be about this tall and they're gonna be basically

a little stick and one way to get them to grow straight up and onto your top

trellis wire is to use what's called a growth tube it's just a corrugated

plastic that wraps around the trunk and you can see one in place here which

creates a little bit of a greenhouse situation it's warm a little bit humid

it encourages that trunk to grow straight up and then once it gets enough

growth at the top of it you're gonna have vines that will grow out on to your

top trellis wire while the trellis wires need to be a pretty heavy gauge wire

originally I bought 12 gauge wire but I ended up having to get 10 gauge wire

because it was a sturdier wire that could hold the weight of the vine and

all of the grapes once the plants matured so I'm gonna take this off and

show you guys what a great start this vine has it's got a lot of leaf growth

inside that tube but all of that energy is encouraging that vine to grow

straight up and it will have a nice strong trunk as that plant matures if

you have questions about producing grapes contact your local Extension

Office or our researchers at the Sheridan research and Extension Center

that are researching grapes hardy enough for growing in Wyoming I'm Donna Hoffman

with the University of Wyoming extension and you're watching from the ground up
