Jujube scionwood
Comments (0)I am interested in getting jujube scionwood from any named variety. I have Li, Lang, Honey Jar & Sugar Cane to trade in exchange. I also have grapes (Reliance, Canadice, Glenora, Flame, Interkalen and a dark seedless with slight muscat flavor), plum Santa Rosa and peach Donut Saturn. If interested, send me an email through the forum. This post was edited by 3r122 on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 12:27...See MoreHimrod vs Reliance
Comments (16)Himrod is a good grape for me in zone 5 with a short growing season and very cold winters. They do seem to stay small and undeveloped and then a big rush to ripen. I've got to say, your photos of himrod look like my interlaken and not like my himrod. My himrods have a nice full bunch and end up a pale green color when they are ripe. I like my canadice the best so far, but it is a pink grape in my growing conditions, not red. Grapes need a lot of heat to get really sweet, so what I get in zone 5, I call "grapes for grown-ups". They have lovely complex flavor, and sweet enough to eat, but not like the grapes you can get in the central valley of California. I don't have a reliance to compare. Several new varieties planted this year, but it will be awhile before i can evaluate them....See Morereliance seedless
Comments (3)I have 5 year old reliance. Chose them on catalogue hype, not always a good idea. But had never had the opportunity to taste them. But overall a good choice it would seem. I liken them to a cross between Concord and the reds in grocery stores for flavor. Quite tasty actually in my book. They have the slip skin like a concord, so possibly that is actually in their parentage. Franktank, I am glad to hear yours are doing well for you surviving Winters. I have been covering mine here in zone 4. I think I will try one uncovered this Winter to see how it does. We have had -27 and -3o temps the last two Winter's, not counting additional wind chill factors. So might be a good test to see how an established plant endures. I'd really like to get the grape bunches higher up off the ground!...See MoreReliance seedless grape is excellent
Comments (18)I'm in far sw Mi,Berrien County, zone 6. I'm absolutely positive as I've seen it on my raspberries, specifically. Bt wont help, apparently. The MSU horticultural extension has also confirmed it north of us in Allegan county. I saw some traps posted on this site that I may have to employ. The fresh ripe berries aren't affected, rather the super ripe ones. I guess the female cues in on smell/texture and deposits its eggs directly into the fruit, bypassing the topical Bt. The fruit then falls on the ground and the larvae pupates and emerges next year. I just eat the affected fruit. Gross, I know. Noogy...See MoreGP (Z9a - Houston, TX)
