Heavens, the vine has totally outgrown the 4 X 6 trellis I set up at planting. From one tip to the other is about 20 feet. Severe pruning is needed in spring after the 3rd year and there after. The vine was about 4 X 3 after the last pruning, the growth is explosive. It's crawling on the lawn but the fruit is within 2 feet of the pruning on the trellis. That's why the grape moth larva must be held in check. They eat the early growth that contains the flowers.
A new trellis is high in the To Do list.
