Having a short growing season I believe in making as much sugar available as fast as possible for my hybrid grapes. So I encourage a large canopy, yet still thin around the clusters. I noticed when I was in California last year the vines were trimmed like poodle dogs. That would never work for my grapes. Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this a good idea?
