German term or phrase: gipfeln
Enorme Schnittleistung beim Gipfeln und Stutzen.

Expression in viniculture. Some type of pruning but I have stutzen, gipfeln, mähen, vorschneiden and entlauben here so can't really use pruning for each. I would be thankful for the correct viniculture terms for each of the processes or a link to a glossary, above all a term for gipfeln.

Wipfeln

Diese Maßnahme im Weingarten (auch Entspitzen, Erbrechen, ***Gipfeln***, Kappen, Köpfen) wird einige Wochen nach der Blüte des Rebstocks durchgeführt. Dabei erfolgt ein maßvolles Abstutzen der überhängenden Triebe. Dadurch soll eine bessere Belüftung und Sonneneinstrahlung bewirkt und die Gefahr eines Befalles durch den Schimmelpilz Botrytis herabgesetzt werden. Siehe auch unter Weingarten-Pflege.

_Second method._

The second method is to head The natural leader so as to cause it to throw out two, three, or more principal shoots; these are trained as leading branches, and in The winter-pruning are not reduced, unless to shape them to The limits of the house, or unless the plant appears too weak to sustain them at length. Laterals from these are cultivated about twelve inches apart, as mother-bearers; those in fruit are stopped in summer, and after the fall of the leaf are cut into one or two eyes. From the appearance of the motherbearer, thus shortened, this is called spur-pruning.
