PNW0603

December 31, 2007

Winter freezes can kill or damage winegrape canes in regions, like the Pacific Northwest, that are subject to low winter temperatures. Although tedious, labor-intensive and expensive, cane burying is one effective solution. This six-page PNW from 2008 describes that system and two others (J-system training and the spur-pruned rose or fan approach) that can better protect and preserve a vineyard. Drawings and full-color photographs will further bolster your mastery of these crucial techniques.
