Anatomy The grape vine has a couple of basic features, like most plants it has roots and trunk and like most vines, it grows out following the path of least resistance. Ideally, a great vine will have a strong thick trunk and be about two to four feet tall. The lateral arms or Cordons can range from 2-5 feet depending on the vigor or ability to grow of the vine- how productive it will be. Some grape vines grow stronger and produce more grapes than other vines. Below is a sketch of what a common grape vine should look like and what each part is commonly known as. As you walk through our vineyard, try and name the different parts you learn!
