HI-STEM® Vines

An Ormond Nurseries innovation, the HI-STEM® vine saves time and money, both during establishment and at maturity. Not only does the HI-STEM® vine provide a nice straight trunk, but it also allows winegrowers to eliminate bud rubbing from the annual budget.

  • The HI-STEM® vine is approximately 750mm tall.

  • Frost risk is reduced to the height of new growth. 

  • No grow guards are required, as the new growth is above the height of the spray zone.

  • The trunk is straight lignified rootstock, making it free from bends or twists.

  • The vines have potential to fruit early, if well managed.

  • The rootstock has been machine disbudded which means that the bud zones have been destroyed, preventing the rootstock from throwing any side shoots.
