You were there in 1892? Billy spews 8 tons of bullshit each day.
I presume that because you weren't there, the American Revolution never
happened, the Magna Carta never signed, and Rome never existed?
You are beyond ignorant Shelly/Brooklyn. An ignorant person could have
done a web search, to find the truth, but you weren't interested in the
truth. You just had the overwhelming urge to open that alligator mouth
of yours, and show the world how stupid and vulgar you truly are.
"Each bud, on last year's wood, will try to set a cluster. Wine grapes
usually leave around 24 buds, but the Carpenteria vine in California,
that was spread out on an arbor, set 8 tons of fruit in 1892 (IIRC)."

One vine in Santa Barbara County covered 12,000 sq. ft. when 65 years
old and produced crops of more than 10,000. Another, at Carpinteria,
planted in 1842, bore 8 tons in 1893, U.S. Dept. Agric. (1904); its
trunk circumference was reported to be nine feet (fig. 1).
Or 10 tons of fruit in 1896

"La Vina Grande", the largest grape vine in the world, growing in
Carpinteria Valley, about 10 miles south of Santa Barbara, California.
It was planted from a cutting of Mission grapes, which were first
introduced into California, at San Diego, in 1769, by the Franciscan
fathers, headed by Father Junipero Serra. Its massive trunk is 9 feet 7
inches in circumference, its branches cover a space of 10,000 square
feet, and it produced about 12 tons of grapes one year. Courtesy of the
Wine Institute.
To all who decide to use Shelly/Brooklyn's advice/opinions, to avoid
nasty surprises, be sure to get it confirmed from one of the gardeners
at rec.gardens, or rec.gardens.edible before you act on it.
Shelly/Brooklyn czn also be very nasty, but don't take it personally.
He has a drinking problem which he can't control.
