<BR>
It fascinates me when people insist on growing vinifera and have no apparent interest in excellent hybrids that are generally more cold hardy ---- however ---- IF I PROTECT MY VINIFERA AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF -35 C temperatures that can ocurr after a mid winter thaw has removed all of the snow cover ---<BR>
<BR>
I can grow and ripen such VINIFERA crosses as:<BR>
<BR>
Schoenburger<BR>
Wuerzer<BR>
Riechensteiner<BR>
Ortega<BR>
Madeline Angevine<BR>
Zefir<BR>
Siegerrebe<BR>
Perle of Csaba<BR>
Frueburgunder<BR>
Agria<BR>
Dornfelder and <BR>
Zweigelt<BR>
<BR>
---the latter two are late ripening enough that I get sweet fruit only in the best years<BR>
when the Growing Degree Days total more than 1000.<BR>
<BR>
--see my list at <A href="http://www.littlefatwino.com/peterslist.html">http://www.littlefatwino.com/peterslist.html</A> <BR>
<BR>
?? What did not work ---- KERNER was much to late ripening / I dug it all out.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
