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

Hi Tom
You , I believe, said that Isabella was one of the last varieties you have
to shut down completely.
If I understood you correctly, suggest you take cuttings in mid Dec, or if
we have a forecast of -10C or colder do it that day- keep a flashlight
nearby. Have you stored cuttings before for a long period?
Waiting for your cuttings needs for this coming spring .

Hello All,

Bert... If I want to take cuttings from Isabella grape, that I fear will
not survive the winter, when is the best time to take them? Now, later
November, Decemeber?

I am sure the cold spell in January will kill them.

Your suggestions..

Although, if this winter keeps as warm as this fall, not to worry.

Thanks,
Tom
