Yours look so much different than mine. Yours is nice an neat....mine is a jungle.
I have side arms going everywhere. I don't know if its because mine go up about 10 feet then go horizontal or if it's just the weather.

I prune and maintain daily these days. I had a post not too long ago where I was rambling about waiting too late to prune the lower portion and it was a pain. Now, I prune the bottom 2 foot daily ( a must ) and I check the sidearms regularly. |

When you say you check the side arms regularly what do you mean?
Do you train them up or prune them?

I let them go willy until they try to mingle in with a neighboring plant (or try to grow through the fence to the next door) and then I train them up.
Everything but the main bine gets pruned off from grade to about 2 foot above.
What is most impresive to me is that, for the first year plants, these are single bines. |

Ok...I follow.
Some of my bines mysteriously lost there growth tips at about the 5 foot point and I think that triggered my side arm growth and it has been caos ever since.
It's no wonder these bad boys are so invasive...nothing stops them.
I'll try and get a pic of my first year cascades....the one is just ridiculous.

Those are some pretty plants dude, what kind of line is that for the vertical line? I used Sisal bailing twine, I dont know if it will support them next year when they are really growing good.

3/8" Sisal rope. 500 foot at Lowes for like $10.00. For that price, I will replace them each year and compost the old ones.
