This has been an interesting plant because the vines have been thinner than normal and the leaves are smaller than normal but the basics of the plant (area and growth) have all been normal. This characteristic is different than the other plants but I have full confidence the full sized pallet I have next to it could come in handy later this year;-)
While it seems the standard for comparison this time of year is main vine length, I have had plants in the past that grow a great main vine but do not ‘fill-in’, so I developed the idea of Leaf Area Estimation which is basically the area of a triangle. (This works best for the standard Christmas Tree style of pruning.) All you have to do is measure the width of the plant and the length of the main vine. Then it is simply (1/2)*(width of the plant)*(main vine length) = Leaf Area Estimation.
Leaf Area Estimation= 124 square feet
Main Vine Length= 16 feet
