How high should the Cordon wire(s) be placed off the ground?
Varying from sight to sight and even among different trellis systems, cordon wire(s) are typically at least 36″ off the ground though examples can be found of lower cordon wires. For areas prone to frost, higher placements of cordon wires should be considered. Placement of these wires should be decided upon only after issues such as frost, machinery to be used, varieties planted as well as ease of harvesting issues are considered.
