1945.5 Daletas ’15 dmg (F: 1554 Mathison ’11 x M: 1744.5 Fulk ’13)
One of the more aggressive plants in the patch, there are only two side vines that currently still have their growing meristems intact. Very sad to see, as I even tried to put aluminum foil by the main to deter further damage but this did not help, and there is currently no main vine.
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= 42 square feet
Main Vine Length= 12 feet
