Mulching to protect grapevine graft unions

November 27, 2012 by Marilyn Odneal

Our crew is putting wood chip mulch at the base of young grapevines in order to protect the graft union from winter cold temperature. The grafts must be protected for the first 4 to 5 years after planting.

Paige, Brody and Sheila shovel mulch around the grape graft unions while Jack pulls the mulch wagon down the row.
