Pick one that is above the graft, the point where two vine shoots intersect.

]]> 77688 2 29 Tip Choose slow-growing vines, like sweet pea and roses, for small trellises and arbors, and fast-growing vines, like honeysuckle or wisteria, for tall trellises.

]]> 77689 3 42 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/42.jpg Move vines near structure If your vines are not planted near your trellis, arbor, or arch, dig them up and replant at the foot of the structure, or move your structure near the vines.

]]> 77690 4 53 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/53.jpg Secure a wooden stake Secure a wooden stake in the ground next to the vine shoot, and between the shoot and the trellis. Use a wooden stake that is about three-quarters the length of the vine shoot. When inserted into the ground, the stake should be about half the vine shoot’s length.

]]> 77691 5 67 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/67.jpg Secure the vine To secure the vine, starting from the base of your structure, wrap sections of the vine to the wooden stake in an upward climb, using floral wire.

]]> 77692 6 75 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/75.jpg Wrap the vine Take the remaining section of the vine and wrap it with a piece of wire.

]]> 77693 7 80 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/80.jpg Secure the wire Take the wired section of the vine and wrap it around your trellis.

]]> 77694 8 87 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/206042/87.jpg Remove the wire Once the vine starts to attach itself firmly to the structure, remove the floral wire. Typically, the wire will remain with the vine for two to four years. To help shape it around the structure, prune the vine every year in early spring, just before it begins to flower.

]]> 77695 9 101 Fact Cucumber plants trained over an arbor or a trellis often produce nicer-looking vegetables.
