CONT

Spring (March to June). ... Replacement of the dead vine plants. Tying down of the branches before budburst.

CONT

Northern Spy, Yellow Transparent, Delicious, and other upright growing varieties are sometimes difficult to train because almost every main limb tends to grow upright. A special practice sometimes used is to train these branches into outward-growing laterals by bending or tying them down. This is done by driving a staple into the trunk near the ground and tying a piece of heavy cord or binder twine (not wire) from the staple to the end of the limb, using a loose loop on the branch.

CONT

Les travaux de la vigne peuvent être regroupés en 7 étapes qui s’étalent et se succèdent tout au long de l'année. [...] Le liage de la vigne est une étape à réaliser de février à avril. Cela consiste à attacher les sarments taillés de part et d’autre d’un fil support, de courber les bois porteurs des bourgeons qui produisent le raisin et de les y attacher. Le liage demande précision et rapidité [...] Son but est de préserver les brins des coups de vent mais aussi de donner un sens et une stabilité à chaque pied de vigne. Après la taille et le liage, les viticulteurs passeront à l'ébourgeonnage et le relevage de la vigne.
