My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

can I let them bloom the 1st year?

16 years ago

I keep reading to pinch them back to develop bigger root systems but does this mean I won't have any blooms the first year? How about the 2nd year?

Can I at least let one vine grow and bloom and pinch the others back?
