I dont beleive that a plant species has the evolutionary ability to "adapt" to a non-native climate or environment, short of a few million years. If the plant...
Of course, adaptation requires mixing of the gene pool with native species and repeated selection. A few million years, however, is a bit long in my opion...
I may be wrong, but I didn't take Steve's comments about the differences in ripening as a result of being located further north to indicate any thoughts about...
Nitodal's better-known sister Lomanto is also a good candidate. Resistance to PD among the various Munson varieties has not been studied in any organized way,...
For those of us that can't ripen Pinot Noir (or even grow vinifera), there are a few hybrid varieties that I've found that are close to Pinot in taste of wine,...
That was my point. Chardonnay is grown all over the world in a large variety of climate. Yet it seems to ripen. The final picking numbers may be different....

Hey Dave, Don't worry about opening any cans; worms or otherwise. You just ask anything you want and most on this list will respond if they have the answer to...
I wonder what people are talking about when they talk about deghree days. MSU puts out degree days totals on a 42 degree base and 50 degree base giving two...
We generally use a 50 degree base when talking about grapes. Some also use a cutoff point for their calculations. Steve _____ From: grapesrus@yahoogroups.com...

FYI, Archery Summit and Domain Druhin in Williamette Valley both train their vines to a max of 5' height on 1 meter by 1 meter spacing and make very good Pinot...
I think the main reason you don't train super high trellis systems (unless the row width is equally as wide) is shading from such a high trellis. I have my...
