This plant was slow to get going, but it has come around for the most part and other than the fact that it is on the small side, everything seems to be normal. Side vines are starting to be buried so I am sure it will just be a matter of time before this plant fills in the area I have planned for it.
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.
Estimated Leaf Area = 87.5 square feet
Main Vine Length = 14 feet
