Gday All,
Can someone provide an interpretation of this?
I assume Jack takes the main vine around the border of the patch and prunes
the seconcaries and tertiaries. Surely the secondaries that face inwards
would need to be retained. I assume the naming convention is that primaries
are vines from the main root and secondaries branches from the primaries.
That raises another question, what happens to the other primaries?
