At maturity, the UFO system yields a fruiting wall that is productive and simple to maintain. Each tree has a permanent single horizontal trunk from which fruiting shoots are grown vertically. Fruit are borne predominantly on spurs but also at the base of 1-year-old shoots, all on vertical wood. Establishing the UFO system is straightforward with little to no pruning required at planting.

SPACING: • Space rows 9’–10’ apart; • In the row, space trees 5’–6’ apart (Gisela 5 Rootstock); • Trellis should be at least 5 wires—lowest wire at 20”, then spaced every 18”–20”; • Unbranched (whip) trees are planted at a 45-degree angle, pointing the terminal to the south (important: do not plant the trees vertically and bend them to a 45-degree angle);

Our region differs from the main grape-growing regions of the world because of our lack of summer heat. But both table and wine grapes can be grown here successfully. A couple of tips to help you succeed:

• SITE - grapes absolutely need full sun, and should be sited in the warmest spot you have; Training for wine grapes • SOIL - grapes prefer well-drained sandy or gravelly soil—if your soil is heavy, build raised beds or rows; • ON ESTABLISHED GRAPES, thinning shoots and fruit bunches is essential to fruit quality; • TRAINING FOR WINE GRAPES: Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) is a cane-pruning method that is easy to learn and maintain—new canes are trained on the lowest wire of a trellis, and shoots from those are trained vertically and bear fruit; • TRAINING FOR TABLE GRAPES: curtain/spur-pruned systems are the most productive for table grapes. Permanent cordons are trained on a high wire —shoots grow from spurs on the cordons and hang down, each shoot bearing a bunch of grapes. • VISIT OUR GROWING TIPS PAGES for more detailed information on growing grapes in our climate.

Page 35 cloud mountain farm center what sets the nursery at cloud mountain farm center apart? WE PROPAGATE AND GROW PLANTS right here during the coldest winter weather. We get both onsite. Propagation methods include growing plants strong south winds off the water, and the famous from cuttings, grafting fruit trees, conifers and Northeaster Fraser valley outflow winds. Those Japanese maples, and even growing plants from weather variables really test many plants. seed. Beyond aesthetic beauty or fruit flavor, we evaluate We plant both fruit and ornamental plants in trials new fruit and ornamental plants so we can be so we can see how they perform in our climate. Our confident they will work in local gardens.

Producing a ready-to-sell fruit trees is an 18 month process. It starts in July and August, chip bud grafting varieties to rootstock that we have grown since spring. Fruit trees are grafted (joining a fruit variety with a chosen rootstock). Why grafted? Fruit tree varieties do not grow true from seed. Fruit trees are difficult to root from cuttings Rootstock choice can influence size, soil tolerance, and productivity. Later in the fall, the budded trees are planted out in clean ground.

The following spring, the buds start pushing a shoot, and the top of the rootstock is cut off

The trees are staked, irrigated, fertilized and pruned several times during the summer growing season.

After the trees go dormant, either in winter or early spring, the trees are tagged, graded and dug from the field, ready to sell in the sales yard. A tree chip budded in August 2020 will be for sale in February 2022.

what does ‘hardy’ mean? For many plants in the catalog, we have listed how hardy the plant is. What does that mean? The USDA Hardiness Zones are based on Average Annual Extreme Minimum Temperatures. For most of Western Washington, our average extreme minimum winter temperatures are in the 10°–20°F range, putting us into USDA Hardiness Zone 8. We can get colder than 10°F, but most years we don’t. These hardiness zones are only a guideline—plants that are not established may not tolerate as low a temperature as ones that are. Drought stress during the summer can also influence a plant’s ability to withstand winter cold.
