Out of control grape vine!

All the sites for grape production is one main stem/trunk. You can select 2+ main
stems sorta heading in the directions you want. Even "trunks" will break buds and
send out vines, so dont worry about next year.

Thanks for that info! It's been so long since I grew grapes that I
don't remember if they only had buds on the previous year's growth. If
the trunks bud, that solves a lot of my concerns.

Evidently you have selected a site
that may not look "good" but your grape loves it, maybe cause it gets a lot of water?

It get a lot because it's in the middle of brick paving, and
everything drains towards it. But the roots won't be sitting in water
because there's enough broken brick under it to provide decent
drainage.

"Decoration" covers a lot of territory. There is espalier, bushy, jungle, etc. Just
keep an eye out of downy mildew or other fungal disease from too little air
circulation.

All I want is a bit of green to break up the drab corner. It's right
outside my kitchen window, and looking at the porch wall isn't very
exciting.
