Hi Steve,
We experienced a double vine in 2007 on our 1370 Rose which is notorious for
DV's. We grew it (with minimal effort) to 853 lbs.
Pick one of the "mains" to keep then hack the other one off ASAP. The plant
will focus it's energy on the new main.
I've heard that it can double again but we've never seen that happen.
