Okay Bert,
You got me with this one - what does DINB mean?

Hey Tom,
You're little "Lady" is about 10 inches tall. ( 6 " rootstock / 4" whip ) Would you like me to send it to you once it's dormant, wait till spring, or hold it in the nursery for a year and then send it out. I'm just fine with whatever you chose.

Hello to everyone else. It's nice to be back in the city for a while. I'm just going to ignore the dozens of whips in the nursery that need to be transplanted out into the orchard. Once this warm weather turns, and the trees are finally dormant, I'll turn into a transplanting machine. May even have to borrow some liniment from the horses.

Cheers, Bizmark.

Hi Tom, just a thought
Consider wrapping the burlap in strips around the trunk tightly so that
brother mouse does not crawl underneath for a mid-winter snack. To hold the
burlap in place, one could then put one of the plastic spiral wraps or small
hole chicked wire on the outside. Watch that the wrap/chick wire goes below
ground level. The burlap, plastic wrap may make a fair wind break.
Cheers Bert
p.s. No comment on your cuttings for spring. Think of all those DINB's
waiting for your pots.

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
