It hasn't spread from this area and it was planted many, many years ago.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621829329473210531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-9885077359962362152022-01-26T15:04:23.539+00:002022-01-26T15:04:23.539+00:00Yeah, so it's just a way of training it so all...Yeah, so it's just a way of training it so all the fruiting buds are near the main stem. Laid at an angle so the growth is slowed a bit. I did some posts about it when I put them in, its quite interesting (although I'm a massive geek with this). There should be a search icon at the top of the page, just type in cordon and the research page should show you lots.

The yields are not huge the quality is always good if you keep up with the pruning. <br />Although this is quite a big job it's not too bad as only time I've done this since I put them in. Just wish I could stop the nettles under them!
