Guyot Simple – Gentle Pruning
The Guyot simple method is a widely used vine pruning system, especially popular in cool-climate wine regions like France and Italy. It’s designed to balance vine growth and optimize grape quality by controlling the number of buds left after winter pruning. This approach helps manage vine vigor, improve sunlight exposure, and support consistent yields year after year.
After taking this course, you’ll understand how to:
- identify the right canes
- make clean pruning cuts
- prepare the vine for both short-term productivity and long-term health
