Hi Bert.

Will do mid-December cuttings.

I am also doing an experiment this year by wrapping the Isabella vine in  
burlap, in hopes of preventing winter die off to the roots.

I wonder if it isn't the winter wind in Plattsville, that is drying out  
and killing the vine.  Always a wind here in Plattsville.

This will be a test.

Later,
Tom
