Bud Break at Laurel Glen, March 2005By Ryan Snyder on 3.17.2005 |
Bud break came a week early this year. Here is a bud unfolding over the course of a warm week in early March...
A young vine, cane pruned bilaterally, and wrapped around the fruiting wire, the spurs and canes just beginning to bud out:
A bud still encased in its hard protective shell. The bud is above a pruning cut:
The bud opens, exposing the first inchoate leaf, which will quickly enlarge and expand into...
... a bursting mass of tiny leaves and shoots and potential grape clusters. What an amazing time of year!!
