Grapevine morphology

Grapevine morphology refers to the physical structure and organization of a grapevine's parts. It includes the way the main stem (or trunk) grows and branches out into smaller stems called canes and arms. These branches develop buds that produce shoots, leaves, and clusters of grapes. The leaf shape and arrangement, as well as the way the vine's roots spread underground, are also important aspects. Understanding vine morphology helps growers manage pruning, training, and disease control, ensuring healthy growth and optimal grape production.
