We have focused on removing trees from our Tassel Ridge Vineyard starting in the south in Block A. We moved north into Blocks B, C, and D. Tree removal should be an annual task but we neglected doing it for two to three years so now we really have to get it done. We are also removing vine trunks and trellis wires in our Marquette South Block at Meadowcreek Vineyard. We will select two suckers on each vine next spring and train them up as new trunks. This means that we won’t have any production on these vines next year but should start getting harvestable fruit the following year. We are also converting over from a Vertical Shoot Positioning trellis to a Single High Wire trellis. Studies conducted at Cornell indicate that yields are better with the Single High Wire trellis.
We are Making Great Progress With Vineyard Floor Management at Tassel Ridge Vineyard
