Video Demonstration

Cane pruned vines tied down with double looped method using No. 8 (40 mm) Anchor Band video 1 at normal speed & video 2 at a speed slow enough to follow. Even the slowed down speed offers some insight as to the application efficiencies to be gained by using Anchor Bands. The removal efficiencies are that they don't have to be cut off that is why we do not need to demonstrate them being removed.
