I just planted three grape vines this spring and have read that Japanese
Beetles take a liking to them. I was wondering if anyone knew if I should be
real concerned about them or not. I have only lived at my current location
about a year and didn't notice a large number of them last year, but it could
have been an off season for them. I am trying to go organic with my property
and would like to avoid spraying if possible. I'm assuming that once the
vines get larger they can handle minor problems, but I don't really want the
find them defoliated the first year I've had them planted. Any suggestions
and/or info would be much appreciated.
