I would like to thank the sessions committed for providing me with the opportunity to share this presentation with you, as the topic of canopy development is a topic of general viticulture.

[I would also like to thank everyone here for showing interest by staying around on a Friday afternoon.]

I am going to share with you a descriptive model for canopy development of cordon-trained spur-pruned grapevines. This model depicts canopy development, from budbreak to fruit maturity, as a process occurring in four stages.
