Grapevine Bud and Phloem Hardiness Newsletter
The attached newsletter describes the relative hardiness of grapevine buds and phloem, and the implications for winter injury and vine survival.
Cold weather remains an ongoing challenge for the grape and wine industry across Canada. While climate change is predicted to expand areas suitable for wine grape production in the country, more frequent extreme cold weather events through the year, including cold episodes lethal to grapevines are also predicted. Activities 5, 6 & 7 will explore methods to reduce crop loss risks by increasing vineyard tolerance to extreme cold events through enhanced hardiness, crop protection technologies and improved cultivar selection.
The attached newsletter describes the relative hardiness of grapevine buds and phloem, and the implications for winter injury and vine survival.
