Single (or double) Guyot pruning

Planting year.
The grafting point must be located 2 or 3 centimeters (about 1 inch) above the ground.

The following year. The vine is 1 year old. A 2-eye pruning helps plant rooting..

The following year.
The vine is 2 years old. One shoot is tied along the wire and will become the trunk. During the summer, 2 or 3 shoots are kept.

This is a long pruning characterized by a 6 to 12-eye fruiting cane located on the carrier wire, in the middle of the tying up, and a 2-eye spur used to renew the cane. This system is mainly used for a variety of vine with hardly or non-fructiferous lower eyes. A complete tying-up is necessary. Its height varies according to varieties, climatic conditions and productivity.

Example of a single Guyot pruning.

Planting requires a perfectly prepared and sufficiently nutrient-rich ground to facilitate the full growth of the plant and its root system.

After the herbaceous-development stage, vine shoots are pruned in winter so that 2 eyes remain. This step aims at insuring the suitable rooting of the plant for the following year. It is recommended to prune as late as possible, in order to avoid spring frosts in sensitive areas. During the summer, a stake can help support the vegetation.

The following winter, a vine shoot is pruned so that 1 or 2 eyes remain above the first tying-up wire. It will then form the trunk and will structure the development of the cane and spur.

In summer, side-shoots are removed, except 2 or 3 for next pruning. They can be trimmed (green pruning) to ease vine treatment and cultivation.

The following winter, the 2 best-positioned shoots can be pruned. The lowest becomes the 2-eye spur; the other is the fruiting cane, with 6 to 12 eyes.

In spring or summer, superfluous or ill-disposed shoots can be cut off. The remaining shoots can be trimmed (green pruning) to ease vine treatment and cultivation.

The following winter, after cutting off the fruiting cane of the previous production, it is necessary to prune the shoots resulting from the spur. The lowest will become the 2-eye spur; the other will be the 6 to 12-eye fruiting cane.
Once again, spring or summer is the perfect time to remove or trim side-shoots.
