Hello All,
I have an Isabella grape that is supposed to be hardy to my zone. However, each year it dies to the ground and puts out new main vines each season. I will never see fruit unless I do something.
Would I be better off to dig it up and put in an unheated garage, or wrap it in burlap leaving it outdoors.
I must be in a colder micro-climate. It is a river valley with poor air drainage.
I also wonder about those polyethylene foam pipe insulators. They come in different diameters, and could slipped onto the vine, then sealed with duct tape.

I would not be able to bury the vine, as my wife would bury me for digging up the lawn. (smile)
Any ideas or opinions? Opinion on the vine Bert, not my wife putting me in the hole (ha, ha, ha)
I am going to saddle Bert with an air-layered Isabella when we get to our Harrow tour in a couple of weeks. That is when Helga will bean him. (LOL)
Later,
Tom
