1916 Barron ’14 (F: 2009 Wallace x M: 1730 Werner)
Seems like I have a right handed plant as the secondary vines on the left side are slow to develop even though there are vines there with growing tips but the growth has been slower on the left side for whatever reason. I have full confidence that it will fill the area with time but at the moment the plant is asymmetrical. Also, I probably should weed the edge that my weed block just does not quite reach;-) This shows how effect (and what a time savings) the weed block actually is.
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= 83.5 square feet
Main Vine Length= 14.5 feet
