Shoot tip pruning

Alternative vineyard work in which the top 10 to 20 centimetres of the young shoots are cut off shortly before the vine flowers. In wire frame training, pruning can be done mechanically when the shoots have grown beyond the top wire and can no longer be fixed. The shoot tip itself is the uppermost growth zone of the shoot, less than one centimetre long, with the apex cells, which separate new shoot segments with leaves and tendrils downwards through constant cell division.

1 = basal leaves without tendrils, 2 = grapevine, 3 = tendril, 4 = internode, 5 = shoot tip, 6 = nodes with grapes or tendrils, each with a leaf opposite, 7 = nodes without grapes or tendrils.
