BUSH VINES Bush type vines found in some areas of South Africa and Australia that are not cultivated on wire frames. They have a short trunk on which the shoots are arranged in circular fashion. Also referred to as Gobelet Trained Vines.
Vines trained in this manner, referred to as 'head training', essentially resemble a small bush or shrub, and they may be described by some as 'bush vines'. They are best suited to warm, dry climates, without fertile soil.
