This plant is the most aggressive plant I have this year. The vine growth is very quick and makes it almost always on the list to vine bury. It should have no problem filling in the plot I have laid out 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.
Leaf Area Estimation= 131.75 square feet
Main Vine Length= 17 feet
