how big is it and what do you want to do with it it?
I've only ever grown one from scratch all my others were well established when i bought the house,but the one i have raised from scratch was trained up a wall and I grew it as one shoot until it was about 5 foot tall and then let it branch out a bit because i wanted some leaf cover as well as grapes.
But it was more luck than judgement!
