Hi, sorry, this might be a very basic question but have to ask, On my plant, i have the main vine growing out, just yesterday i noticed another vine starting to grow out just near the end of the main vine. At first i thought it was just another leaf, but today it is definitely another vine. So now i have the main vine at about 4-5 feet long, and it has forked of into to vines, kind of like a snakes tongue if that makes any sense. So the question is, do i select the longest vine and cut the other one away?

Ok, cheers. Thought it must be something pretty basic. Will work slowly work it all this out. Will train it out and peg it down. Appreciated. Cheers.

If it is happening at the root end then it is a secondary vine, but if it is happening at the growing tip then the vine may be turning into a ribbon vine and most likely going to continue to divide over and over. If this is the case the vine wont produce on that vine.you may have to grow a fruit on a secondary vine . Do you have a picture in a diary to look at.we can guide you better if we see what your talking about?
