Fruit shoot

Name (also fruit) for the grape-bearing shoot; see there.

Term (also known as ‘green shoot’, ‘annual shoot’, ‘Lotte’ or ‘shoot’) for this year’s green shoot of the grapevine. It develops in spring from winter buds on the one-year-old wood and bears leaves, tendrils and grapes in the same year. Depending on the length of the one-year-old wood or the number of buds left during winter pruning, a distinction is made between canes, runners or spurs (see under ‘Bogen’). With certain training systems, such as wire-frame training, the fast-growing shoots must be guided into the wires by tying them up during the growing season.

Nodes & internodes

Leaves, inflorescences (corymbs, later bunches of grapes), tendrils and suckers, as well as shoot buds for future shoots, are formed at the nodes. A vigorous shoot is characterised by thick nodes and long internodes (the distances between the nodes). The length of the shoot is determined, depending on the variety, by the number of nodes (up to 20) and the length of the internodes. The tendrils, which always face a leaf, are organs of attachment.
