Ripening and harvest season just around the corner. Frontenac blanc, Frontenac gris, Frontenac noir, and Itasca. All multistate cold hardy adapted cultivars. Tracking Brix and TA across the season to see how hybrids ripen and manage elevated temperatures

❄️ 🍇 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH ❄️ 🍇

Londo & Kovaleski's study demonstrates a link between cold hardiness and budbreak phenology, revealing a conserved and adaptive response to winter temperature in grapevine.

Sampling clonal grapevine scions and grafted rootstocks across three states to determine how the epigenome of roots, shoots, and berries change across environments, NY sampling team edition.
It’s hard to believe we are already at veraison! Just a touch of color on the cold hardy hybrid cultivars. We are trying to see if all those winter hardiness traits make the vines more at risk to heat and drought.
Ah, nice. I hope it’s just the first one of the day.
I need a pick me up. Where are we looking this morning
I thought this was the onion….
Increasing numbers of 🍎 trees seem to be declining in NY and I think we can detect it early. Maybe we can hyperspectrally “see” the physiological shift before canopy collapse. Behold the beauty of Apple tree decline.
