DivaSharon,
I am in the process of training one of mine into a tree. It is working very well & VERY fast. After researching it on the internet, I learned that all you need to do is take a nice straight vine & stake it up. Then cut off all the sprouts below it. It will sprout more & the one you tied up will get longer, and then you just do it all over again. I just staked mine higher this morning & trimmed off the extra. I am going to post a pic of it so you will know what I mean. On mine you will notice a large bend above a stump towards the bottom. This is because I bought this as a bare root & that was the top. Since it is for me, I really don't care. But if I was doing it for a gift for someone, I would use one I started from seed. Of course it would not bloom for a long time, but it will eventually. :)
