I am sorry about the grapevines, I know nothing about them. It sounds like the blogger before me knew alot.<br /><br />I am sorry about your Oak (and your fence). We had a big Oak tree in our front yard just keel over a few years ago. I didn't realize how I took it for granted. It makes me sad because it took YEARS for that big old thing to grow and I can never replace it. Luckily, we have many more!! ;-D<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735093463163706945.post-62180348088319227782009-05-13T18:31:00.000-04:002009-05-13T18:31:00.000-04:00yikes! i have never seen anything like that on a g...yikes! i have never seen anything like that on a grapevine in australia. but if i had done i would have thought that it was caused by phylloxera (the american aphid like sucking insect that nearly wiped out the wine industry in europe in the 1800's). but i assume the vine you have is an american species (ie. not the european vitis vinifera) and they are usually resistant to that insect. you can usually check for phylloxera by digging down into the roots and checking them for the similar gall like structures you see on the leaves and shoots. there is no known cure. in australia if such a thing is found, panic would ensue, the whole vineyard destroyed and the surrounding region quarantined.<br />it could of course be some other sap sucking pest that is causing the galls. so my suggestion is to get some sort of systemic pesticide spray(one that actually gets into the sap stream rather than a topical spray) and see if that works. in aus we would use something like bayer's "confidor".<br />if the problem is fungal (and i doubt that) a spray of wettable sulphur at a rate of 2g/L (sorry dont know the american conversion)should help. and at the outside chance that the galls are caused by blister mite the sulphur will knock them off too. hope this helps.<br />thanks for checking out my blog. i hope some of your readers might like to become regulars of mine as wellgrapegrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837832473620061803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735093463163706945.post-3174424552973966192009-05-13T17:02:00.000-04:002009-05-13T17:02:00.000-04:00Send your pics to your county extension agent.
