Looking for all the world like deranged 30 amp fuse wire, multiple years of Cabernet sauvignon tendrils have combined to thoroughly ensnare, with a death-like grip, the trellising wires in Vinoland.Today I began pruning the Cabernet sauvignon vines, and once again I had forgotten how hard the wood is to cut through in comparison with the other grape varieties in Vinoland. Ouch! Not only did my pruning shears get a good workout, but so did my loppers and even my pruning saw. Thanks for help with that last cut Vinomaker!

My molybdenum bladed triple fulcrums as used by the SAS gardeners would have made short work of the job...who shears wins.
It's The Devil's Rope.....on my Route 66 journey, in Texas somewhere, I passed a museum of the stuff!
Thud: Y'know, vines utilise trace amounts of molybdenum to stay healthy (important for nitrogen fixation)...
Affer: Had to look this one up as I thought you were referring to jimson weed. There does indeed seem to be a museum dedicated to barbed wire in Texas...who knew?
Vinogirl.That reminds me of the barbed wire that used to attach itself to the arse of my trousers as a younng tearaway.Did you know old barbed wire is very ,very valuable.If you find any take it to your local Barbed Wire Emporium.I'll be doing a reccie for some at Thud's this weekend!
