Betty - Fruit quality has been su- perb, rich dense fl esh that rivals any of the 16 non-leaf curl resistant varieties we have in our commercial trials. This fruit thinned properly is outstanding. Although we have produced only a few crops on the tree it really looks promising. table grape trials For the past decade, we have been experimenting with pruning and trellis systems for table grapes. We have also been growing some newer varieties with an eye to disease resistance, splitting resistance, and early ripening. training systems - Spur pruning along with overhead and curtain trellising have proven to be the most productive management tools in our trials. covers - Covering sweet cherries with roofs or tunnels can help prevent canker disease by preventing frost damage in early spring. Overhead cover protects the cherries from rain splitting at harvest, and facilitates insect and bird netting. peach trials Cloud Mountain has been growing peaches since 1980. In the past 15 years, we’ve planted trials of both curl resistant and non-curl resistant peaches. Peach leaf curl is the disease that is the most diffi cult to deal with in our climate. If you want to grow peaches without spraying, you should look fi rst to curl resistant varieties. Frost - The variety with the longest track record, Frost has always been very curl resistant. Its fl avor is consistently up there with any others in this class variety trials - The past years have shown us that resistance fruit. It is more susceptible to brown to fruit splitting is the key to quality grapes at harvest. Four rot than other curl resistant varieties stand out: Interlaken, Jupiter, Canadice and Neptune varieties. all can take rain without splitting.

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 ex- treme minimum winter temperatures are in the 10°F-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. Even established plants can be damaged by cold winters, especially if the cold weather comes sud- denly, before plants go dormant. Drought stress during the summer can also infl uence a plant’s ability to withstand winter cold. succeed with fruit trees

But both table and wine grapes can be grown here successfully.

If your soil is heavy, build raised beds or rows • On established grapes, thinning shoots and fruit Training for wine grapes bunches is essential to fruit quality • Wine grapes and later ripening table grapes should be grafted to promote earlier ripening 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 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.
