These lists must not be taken as indicating absolutely for all cases
how these varieties are to be pruned. They simply indicate their
natural tendencies. Certain methods and conditions tend to make vines
more fruitful. Where these occur, shorter pruning than is indicated
may be advisable. On the other hand, other methods and conditions tend
to make the vines vigorous at the expense of fruitfulness. Where these
occur, longer pruning may be advisable.
The more usual factors which tend towards _fruitfulness_ are:
Grafting on resistant vines, especially on certain varieties such as
those of Riparia and Berlandieri;
Old age of the vines;
Mechanical or other injuries to any part of the vine;
Large development of the trunk, as in the cordon systems.
The more usual factors which tend towards _vigor_ at the expense of
fruitfulness are:
Rich soil, especially large amounts of humus and nitrogen;
Youth of the vines;
Excessive irrigation or rainfall (within limits).
