I planted 4 rhizomes this year - 2 Centennial, 2 Columbus. Both varieties are about 2' tall. I'm training them to twine that zig-zags up a 10' tall arbor (this gives them approximately 25' to grow). The problem is that every time a bine starts to make decent progress climbing, the growing tip breaks off. This has happened twice on two different plants. Any ideas as to what is happening? Does it have anything to do with the diagonal trellis? It has been pretty windy, are they succeptible to breaking off in high winds?
