When Will Budbreak Occur?

Budbreak varies from year to year. Last year, budswell occurred around April 11th. For a friend on the forums, his started to swell on March 30. The budswell date also depends on the variety of grape. Budbreak occurs about a week after budswell, and full noticeable leaves less than a week after that. So, less than three months away hopefully!

Update

Well, I got a decent harvest this year for my first set of grapes! I got a huge bowl full of Concord grapes after harvest a week into September. It's been a while since harvest, but I'm pretty sure it was only a week into the month because the bees were getting to the grapes. I wanted to pick them before they were destroyed.

I also go bird netting to protect the grapes after verasion which seemed to keep the birds out.



The first year concord barely seemed to get to the top wire, while the seedless concord was very vigorous and I will probably be able to get a small harvest out of it this fall. :)

I didn't update during the time of harvest because I was so excited to finally get grapes after three years of waiting. I've also been busy with graduating and such.
