It depend how high your humidity is in the greenhouse. I got my cuttings in a plasticbox, 4 x 6 feet. http://www.winemanager.com/slarsen/images/propbox.jpg Now...
I would concur. Let me tell you. Chambourcin is a great grape but the plant has some serious vigor issues. I wimpier vine I've yet to see. WTB ... more ... ...
I find that surface moss developing on the seedbed media if left undisturbed will compete with the seedlings in an adverse way. Jean Houle Charlemagne Quebec ...
I would agree with other reply as well. You didn't say how long ago you stuck the cuttings, but in my experience the buds can break with roots being virtually...
Yeps, it worried me a little bit too. Now the picture is 3 week old, and 2 weeks ago I scratch the surface with a stick. I was not sure if there were oxygen...
I have had very poor rooting in my silt/clay soil for (I'm sure) low oxygen supply. I have been using a pumice mined in Pemberton, BC for the last 3 years and...
Okay, after pruning for years, I want to get some input from others with more experience. I prune throughout the winter and then come back in the spring and...
Steve, I don't know how cold it gets there but I assume pretty cold.....I'm from N.B. Canada so I know about cold.... Pruning thruout the winter seems to me to...
Steve for me,this year anyhow,the prune twice method saved my butt. I live in the southeast corner of Nebraska. We experienced the "118 year too warm too...
There are at least three good reasons to "rough" prune in the winter as Steve is now doing. First, the work can be spread over a long period providing...
I am curious to know if you also used any plant hormones to aid root development? I have worked a lot with cuttings (scented geraniums especiallY, not grape)....
Okay, those were the pros and cons of two-pass pruning, but I was actually looking for the physiological aspect doing or not doing the second pruning. How does...
If you are getting that much die back I would think it would be time to start replacing your cordons. At twelve inches per year, in a couple years you wont...
Steve, I assume you meant you were getting dieback at the ends of your canes (one year old wood), and not your perennial cordons. If it is the cordons, that...
I'll weigh in on this one, and I hope the big dogs correct me if I am wrong. But I believe....... You are exactly right in your suspicions about disease but...
I don't start to prune at all until the very end of March or first of April, just finished Friday. With Vidal and Vignoles here it pays to prune them last as...
If you are talking about canes then that is totally different. It normally is very obvious where the late summer growth started at the end of a cane. It will...
I am interested in America grape mainly, in an Italian magazine I found an interesting thing. I am sending (i photos)you this picture of and old grape variety...
Thanks Mark - these are 2nd & 3rd year Frontenac, Prairie Star, & LaCrescent so I'm refering to the laterals which will eventually be cordons. I left them...
I didn't see anything about Uvon in the Vitis Intl. Variety Database....neither as a common name nor a synonym. Sorry, Michel angel_orto <riwob@...> wrote: ...
If I was to guess at the identity, I would think the variety is something like the old Isabella, or a sport of it. Isabella was widely distributed in Europe...

I think the idea of the angled cut is to get a close to the bud as possible without damaging the bud. Any wood after the last bud(node) will die as there is...
The vintner who has been teaching me about how to care for my vineyard said that the 45 degree cut allows rain water to run off rather than into the cut. He...
From: Craig Green ... said that the 45 degree cut allows rain water to run off rather than into the cut. He said that his experience with a 90 cut facing up...
Dan, I second that. I pay zero attention to the angle of my cut. My pruner will bind much more on an angled cut (yes, it is time to sharpen the blade - it...
