Weekly Update

Hello Dear Growers!

I hope your week is going well. Here are some updates and reminders. 

Phenology:

We are at the woolly bud stage for .Osceola Muscat, Geissenheim and Baco Noir. 

Others are still at the bleeding stage- as is evident here in the New York Muscat.

While you're out in your vineyards, I'd appreciate it if you could snap a few photos of your grape varieties and send them in. This will help us track phenological stages across the province and feature your photos in upcoming blog posts.

A big thank-you to everyone who joined last week's Trunk Disease Webinar! We had great attendance and a lively, engaging discussion. If you have any follow-up questions from the session, feel free to send them my way—I'm happy to help find the answers you need.

If you missed the presentation, the link to the video is here:
