The growth of the grape the third season (See Fig. 16) will consist of water sprouts on main stem, fruiting canes on spurs and fruit on shoots produced on last season's canes. The vine is pruned by cutting out all unnecessary water sprouts, leaving two to each wire; these water sprouts should be cut back to spurs two nodes in length. The old fruiting canes are cut out entirely. ISTew fruiting canes produced on spurs of last season should be left to bear fruit the following season. The fruiting canes have shorter nodes and more mature buds than the water sprouts which produce a long succulent growth. This method is repeated the successive and following a - l-t/a/er â 3i>roi/7s' ^ = 0/c/^iTinj Cones Fig. 16.âThird season's growtli after planting consists of fruit bearing sprouts produced on fruiting canes, water sprouts on main stem, and fruiting canes for next season on water sprout spurs. After gathering fruit, prune in fall or winter, cut out the old fruiting canes and cut back the water sprouts to spurs two nodes long and new canes to desired length as indicated by dotted lines. Pruning Muscadine Gkapes. The Scuppernong and other varieties of Muscadine grapes make a very vigorous and luxuriant growth. For this reason they are better adapted to training on an arbor or overhead trellis. They may be trained, however, to the Kniffin System the same as the bunch grape, except that six arms on three wires are allowed to form instead of four as with the bunch grapes. These arms should also be much longer so as not to reduce the fruiting capacity of the vine. In training Muscadine grapes only one branch should be allowed to grow for the main stem. (See Fig. 17).
