anyone know what they grow here, happened on this field during a "drive-a-bout" and cant for the life of me figure what grows here. There were several fields of it, owned by the "Gee Whiz Produce Co". For reference, the triangles are about 8-10 feet at the apex
I've never seen grape vines with that setup (doesn't mean they don't exist).
Googling Gee Whiz Produce brought of links about apples so maybe the start of an apple orchard? Though I've never seen apple orchards that look like that either. LOL

It might be this //www.auvilfruit.com/quality.html kinda looks like it
It's a triangle field, and it is about ready for harvest, or it could be a field of power line tower seedlings.
No idea what it is. Love the Co name though.
hmmmmm, thanks all, i'll have to see if i have a shot that shows tha stalk, it had been pruned back quite a bit when i was there
Well if it's got a stalk pruned back that's going to grow again, then it's a perennial and that leaves out both pole beans and hops, but puts grapes back in the equation. Possibly table grapes? I donno...

I wanted to say some sort of small hops too, but they'd be a pain in the ass to harvest with that setup. Where I'm from they'd drive through the field in a big "hop truck", and dudes standing on top would chop down the whole line with machetes when school started each year (Septemberish).
smardaz says the owner of the field is "Gee Whiz Produce Co". They seem to deal in fruit. It might even be apples. This type of growing is apparently more ergonomic for the pickers.
It is a version of the Tatura system for growing. It allows for easier picking of fruit via placement of ladders and controls the shape of the tree while growing. Used for apples, cherries, pears and some others.
