Hi. I'm looking for 30 to 40 Blanc du Bois vines for the spring. Anyone have any (or know of some)? I live in South Florida, but can drive to GA, Alabama,...

... There's also "A Concise Guide To Wine Grape Clones For Professionals" from John Caldwell Viticultural Services. It's not nearly as comprehensive as the...
I'll say that there is a lot more information on clonal variations from research than from the French book. Especially if you are interested in Pinot Noir or...
Bill, The Internet world is a big place. Would that be in Iowa or Virginia? At any rate, a pH of 5.5 for Mgt 101-14, although slightly lower than optimal for...
That's in Virginia, sorry about that. I sent the same message to a local group. Seems to me they died continuously over the last four years (since I planted...
i was reading your post on getting lime down by placing on the surface. you are incorrect in your thinking. i've joined this group to try and learn more about...
I Live in Va, and can tell you what has happen. your pH is a little low but not low enough to cause major grow problems. The rootstock were breed most in US...
Dave, What about PD? I don't know if Louisa Co. is in the zone or not, but might be related. Or could be crown gall, since the own-rooted vines survived? Dan ...
Hello Dave, thanks for that. I did not kill grass and weeds around the vines when I planted them, but only weed when I see something particularly menacing. I...
Dan, this Va. Tech. site [http://connect.ag.vt.edu/p25372961/] seems to suggest that Pierce's is uncommon this far north, although some bugs that spread it are...

I always read that mulching the vines was bad because it caused "wet feet". Is that not the case or do you not mulch around the vines specifically? -Mike ...
-Hi Bill, I had a problem much the same as yours, and the solution was just as Dave advises. I had some Cab Franc on 101-14 from Double A and at first the...
Mike, A thin layer of old hardwood mulch will not cause wet feet for your vine, unless you are growing on a soil that should not have grapes to start with. I...
Bill, Commerical people use Round-up before the vines begin to swell inthe spring time then a burn down agent like Rely, or Poast. Rely and Poast only kill...
We had a fairly warm, long Fall here, but we've been hit by a pretty strong arctic front today. We won't see above-freezing temps for at least a week, and the...
Kenton, I just looked at my weather station and the low for the night was 14.8. My vines should be vine, but I think my figs and olives will be zapped... They...
Hello gang, In our experience with Hudson River Umbrella on Seyval, I think that Seyval prefers to grow upright, but is not insulted by being trained to grow...
I'm in BC. We didn't get much snow cover before the snow came. I am a little worried about he vines, for sure. I did fill milk cartoons with wood shavings...
I think you need to grow Seyval upright. I have had very good luck with Deltex as a non-fruiting wire here in northern Wisconsin over the last 3 years. Mark...
Supposedly there is more snow and cold weather to come for the PNW. Snow is always good to protect the vines... Steve ________________________________ From:...
