I am looking for information on t bud grafting. When is the best time to do this in a climate like Southern Quebec's How is it done on grape vines and what...
Midsummer, after the stock is hardening off. Chip budding will give better results because the bark doesn't need to slip as it does with a t-bud. IF you are...
A t-bud is done when the skinı on the bark slips. In most places thatıs near the end of May. Here in Montreal, thatıs probably about the 15th of June, for...
Just got off the phone with Double-A vineyards, because I had a shortage of Meynieu-6 on takes. Decided on a few of the NY 81 (CayugaX Riesling) to try them....
Keith, How does M-6 do for you? compared, for example, to your Rayon? Iıve always been intrigued by it, esp. as Wagner claimed it was like a white Bordeaux, ...
Its real crappy on its own roots, puny vines reminiscent of Ravat Noir but hardier. Grafted they are much like Sauvignon blanc. I have 5 vines grafted from...
Thatıs interesting about M-6, Keith. I agree absolutely that the East has a big hole where the sauvignon blanc taste profile should be. Well grown Rayon could...
No, removed the Leon 2 years ago. Was getting rid of all the early reds. I like the later ripening ones better for the most part. I am trying Marquette, but...
Keith, have you tried Couderc Noir? I cant seem to grow it here in Arkansas; all the vines have just about died out in about 5 years on own roots. It...
It's not just the heat, either. I've found that having early black grapes in the vineyard increases bird damage for all the varieties hugely. Birds are...
Mike - You might think about a couple of Munson hybrids, Ben Hur and Hopkins. Ben Hur will ripen about the end of September for you, maybe a couple days...
What is the tannin structure with these two like? The reason I tried to grow Couderc Noir was that it added a nice structure to my Cynthiana blend. Mike ... ...
I got ³Hopkins² from Davis (before their vine died), but it had obviously been mislabelled. Perhaps the Hopkins at the TVM vineyard is correct. My interest...
I personally like Couderc noir, always have, and I'm sorry it's not working out for you. That said, Ben Hur or Hopkins (mine is supposed to be the real one)...
As I understand it from the former vineyardist at the MMV, they lost their Hopkins vine(s) also, and replaced it with one from the Germplasm Center. The...
Where are you in the Ohio Valley? I am near Columbus, Ohio and am wondering the hardiness of these varieties? Keith SRV ________________________________ From:...
Never tried it as I thought it was not that hardy and haven't seen it on a nursery list either. Keith SRV ________________________________ From: Mike...
I'm thinking about trying some Casoron CS (Dichlobenil) for weed control this spring, has anyone here on the list tried it, and how did it work for you? ...
I've been using the granular 4g version for about 20 years. It needs to be put down before the temps get above 65şF. A day won't hurt. Followed by rain...
Double A has them ; http://www.rakgrape.com/abc_vines.php?get=M&PHPSESSID=e8f000ba0d544c4a113dde1573bbe1f8 ________________________________ From: JWyman...
Many years ago my folks put Casoron on about half an acre of Foch and it killed them. I would stay as far away from Casoron as I could. Roundup is approved...
There are two issues to watch with Casoron. When it is hot >70*F, the chemical is volatile and can cause damage to above ground parts of the treated plants....
I've been using Casoron for 20 years and it is totally harmless to woody plants, even small tender ground cover types of evergreens. It used extensively by...
Wow! what a list. I am in traverse city and have 50 or so vines. (backyard dabbler) Chelois, Cab.Sav., Chardonnay, Orion, St Pepin. I am looking to rip...
Anything new on the AP control front? I have varying degrees of AP, worst is the Melody vines. some vines become infested to the point of damage to the crop...
The vineyard is in White Oak, just outside Cincinnati. So far, there's been no problem with cold hardiness in any of the varieties, but we haven't really had...
