1998.5 Jutras ’15 (F: 1317 Clementz ’13 x M: 1916 Barron ’14)
This plan was a little slow to get going but was starting to show signs of life until the squirrel ate the main vine tip along with three of the leading secondary vines. This is certainly frustrating especially considering I have not experienced a problem like this before.
While it seems the standard for comparison this time of year is main vine length, I have had plants in the past that grow a great main vine but do not ‘fill-in’, so I developed the idea of Leaf Area Estimation which is basically the area of a triangle. (This works best for the standard Christmas Tree style of pruning.) All you have to do is measure the width of the plant and the length of the main vine. Then it is simply (1/2)*(width of the plant)*(main vine length) = Leaf Area Estimation.
Leaf Area Estimation= 33 square feet
Main Vine Length= 11 feet
