@AimeTim @mwscarlata @AgrarianSharing end/ Propagation and pruning videos for a myriad array of fruit types? Commonplace. How-to guides on properly collecting and storing material to propagate? Almost non-existent. A video primer, then, on collecting and storing grape scion well, from @AgrarianSharing

Copy of thread here: Dr. Strik, hello! Any idea who might know of thick-skinned, late-season grape cultivars lending themselves particularly well to homestead storage?@berriesGood4U Sure! What region or hardiness zone? I assume also want European-American hybrid 🍇 so not needing to spray for powdery mildew all the time and tolerant to phylloxera? Koppen Csa and Csb, for the most part. And preferably for organic systems. Thank you so very much. I trust you and Bella and the fam are well. For your climate I’d suggest 🍇 Italia, Vanessa, Einset, Alborz, Venus, Autumn Royal. All have thicker skin & store well with “normal” methods 😉 (kangina method in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 is 😲) All grow well organically. More info in my pub: catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/catalog/files/project/pdf/ec1639.pdf I believe we may have even thicker-skinned..
2/ The #agrariansharingnetwork team moves among ca. 750 unique grape cultivars, targeting, collecting and freely distributing propagation material among a month-long series of community-based prop fairs throughout our bioregion. How do we get grapes right? youtu.be/Qw60GPPiohE
