Plant Physiology: L3: Water Transport
I will never say no to learning about plants 😅
Yes, and there are so many kinds with different needs and growing patterns!
Hi Grant, thanks again for your videos. I live in Houston and my vines lost all their leaves from the hurricane flooding in my backyard. I think they got root rot from so much rain. Do you think they may come back or fully lost from the root rot? Could you offer any suggestions on managing these plants in a very tropical and wet climate? Thank you
Yeah, that could be a huge problem. Time will tell if they will come back. Grapes are pretty hardy but this may be too much. Grapes are very susceptible to fungal diseases in wet humid climates. It is tough growing them in these conditions.
In my area we have a toxicity problem with Boron and Arsenic, that was shipped till a century ago by means of the river. I recognized the problem and toxicity tests were performed in my area. One and a half meter below ground they also found industrial waste. They used sandy soil from elsewhere to build the neighbourhood where I am living, but here and there we see patches of toxicity. Small residue deposits were placed here of industrial waste by means of small boats to create dikes besides the river. My garden is on one of those dikes. Every reading of toxicity is different. End result: Low fish count and early death in the rural community (use of Arsenic in gardenvegetables). My top half meter of soil is good. I only see a bit of toxicity of Boron in the grapevine Eddy's Blue Wonder. Riesling shows stunted growth. They are planted one next to the other.
I am glad you are aware of your local problems! Sometimes we are just stuck with things that we don't have control over.
Good topic
Thank you.
I will wait next detailed series for sure, but could you recall how quickly grape vines react to Mg or B deficiency treatment? I mean visible changes. p.s. Glad to hear, that 3y.o. plant can withstand the untie well, i'm very anxious about it all the time)
You can see differences within a few days for Mg. Takes a couple of weeks for B depending on the severity, treatment and symptom. Good question, I'll add that to my video.
Dear professor, bcoz of u I am getting clarity on plant physiology. Pls continue ur valuable service❤
Thank you, I will
Thank you for these. Thank you for sharing this information to the public. Appreciate you and the time you put into to making these.
Glad it was helpful!
Where did the name Zinfandel originate? Why not just call it Primitivo like in Italy or Crljenak Kastelanski or Pribidrag
I believe in California, but it is a mystery as far as I know.
Bravo, master instructor!
Thank you!
Congratulations Professor. For me is the best Mediterranean grape for climate change - I'm i little Winemaker and i think who I'll trying this in my farm in Tuscany, near Volterra
Great! Enjoy the process!
Thanks for your videos, I’m in Houston working on my backyard trellis, first year. I’m curious what the plan is for holding up your grapes once they start growing. Do you expect to have a wire system between posts? I guess I’m just using to seeing a trellis post-wire system. Thank you again for your videos and I’m subscribed!
My head-trained system is an old system that predates trellis systems. I am preparing a future video on trellis systems. I am glad you are finding the videos useful!
@@grantcramerthanks for your reply!
great! Did you measure how much water is being used per hour? How's your timer set?
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that.Good question! Each drip sprinkler head produces 5 gal in 10 min and irrigates approximately 9 vines. I do this twice in the day twice a week (Wed and Sat), which gives each vine about 4.44 gal per week. I will adjust depending on need and weather conditions, as you should to your own particular circumstances, e.g. size of the vines, soil type, temperature, etc.
Hello Dr. Cramer. I love your videos and have been watching all of them, plant physiology and nutrition. Although I'm a physician, I love plants and gardening so I have been self educating myself at least 10 years specially in plant Nutrition. I noticed your vines had N deficiency in soil and petiol analysis and from your recent video they still seem to have general leaf chlorosis. Do you recommend using a chlorophyll meter or not? Thank you once again. Looking forward to watching your next videos ! Take care. God bless.
You are correct, and that is very observant of you. Some of my vines are having other nutrient deficiencies, which I will go into in more detail in future videos. Besides the documented B and Fe deficiencies, I have problems with Mg as well. My backyard soil seems to be very poor but I am confidant I can get a handle on it with good management practices.
Did you have any issues this season already? Hope no, as vineyard looks amazing! Keep going. And thanks again for nice teaching!
Oh, yes, more to come!
Great teaching sir❤....love from India
Thank you. I am glad you appreciated it.
Hi! Can you do a step by step of head training video or pictorially? Thanks!
I will, I am working on it, but it will take some time for the full development of my vines.
@@grantcramer excellent. However, a hand drawn diagram will work too. I am trying to head trained mine. they are in containers
You can view this in my earlier videos on early training. You may find Season 1, Episode 2 particularly useful.
Thanks Grant. I am really enjoying your videos.
Glad you like them!
thank you ! Your videos are one of the best videos I've seen about gardening and plant physiology. PERFECT !
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your feedback. I am glad it is worthwhile to you and others.
perfect !
Thank you!
i love cajabria
Yes, thanks!
You may not have noticed or you might not mind but you left your full address in the video on your analysis report. In RUclips Studio I believe you can do minimal editing of an active video. One of the options is to add a blur over things in the video.
Ok thanks!
Problem resolved! Thanks for the blur tip!
In the second year the shoots are not long enough to make a cordon. You always leave one spur (2 buds) on the best placed cane because the you have to take in account the sap flow.
Thank you for your comments!
Very interesting to hear about the deficiencies that you are facing. I am growing my vines in ground that was transported here. An analysis was done in the neighbourhood and we had excess of Boron, Arsenium and heavy metals. I stopped with fertilization last year as I got too much Nitrogen. It is stabilizing now. I had lots of aphids last year and much less this year. Also less inflorescences, but I rather have the present situation. Less aphids but also less fruits. Our winter and spring are extremely wet with record rainfall and I check regularly on signs of fungal decease and bugs. Birds are my greatest friends. Your videos are very informative and help me to make right decisions.
I am glad they are helping you! Everyday is another adventure!
@@grantcramer I have been battling weird nutrient issues that are like chasing gremlins you fix one then another crops up that looks like another and I keep trying various nutrients because im a professional winemaker and know a bit about viticulture not as much as someone who grows grapes 100% for a living but its been frustrating fixing one to find out another pops up or having 2 that look identical and trying to figure out whats causing it.
Yes, it takes time to get a handle on it. Be patient and keep working at it. I am sure you can resolve the issue eventually. Soil is really just a physical structure to house the nutrients, you can eventually replenish it with proper nutrition. Hydroponics proves that!
Perfect video. Thanks for your knowledge and expertise
Glad it was helpful!
I use Yara fertilizers in my vineyard, Typically yaras 15-15-15 about a cup per vine per year, along with up to a half cup if needed of potassium. My big issue is micronutrients I am so depleted tht I cant find a viable economical way to get them to my vines outside of spraying a bunch of frequent foliar sprays to keep them happy.
Have you done a petiole or plant tissue analysis? Soil analysis? If so, what were your results?
@@grantcramer Yes, Vines were deficient as expected as the nutrients are not in the soil, I can get them on the low side of normal with a bunch of sprays. But Im trying to solve the soil side of it.
Lots of manure can provide the nutrients. Algal sprays can also help. Do you have sandy soil?
@@grantcramer I have no access to manure and compost is prohibitively expensive. I do have sandy soil. Which means that anything I do add tends to leach out and doesnt stick around.
I have 2 pots of vines, i want to do the head training. They are still in the shade. My questions are about watering, how often do we water them? I’m using 5gallon fabric pots. And when should I put them out in the open? I’m in the tropics. And Also, do I need to bring them back in when raining?
That's tricky because it depends on the size of the vine, the size of the pot, the type of soil, and how warm it is. I would water them daily at first and then maybe back off to every other day. Keep an eye on them and look for signs of water stress like short tendrils or wilting. See my video on irrigation if you want to know more: ruclips.net/video/-MrYfHgjtvQ/видео.html In addition, if they are not yet use to direct sun, then you might want to start out exposing them directly to the sun at 1 h per day and increase it by 1 h per day on a daily basis, until you are at full sun all the time. I think they will like the rain, but you have to be careful about fungal diseases, so you may need to spray them with a fungicide. It depends on temperature conditions, moisture levels and what grape variety you are growing.
@@grantcramer thank you so much for very clear explanation ❤️
hi. in east texas. planted camm noir april 30 as rootstock and as of may 8 most are about 40-42 inches (cordon at 36). should i continue to let them grow with no pruning? i am using blue-x tubes and stakes to the 36" line. i havent installed any catch or additional lines above yet as i cannot find good information of this hybrid growth pattern. tia
Hybrids tend to be very vigorous. If you are getting very vigorous growth then you might want to prune them and start training them to your wire.
*Promo sm*
I don't understand what you are trying to say.
Amazing job Grant! I discovered your channel yesterday and I could not stop watching. Congratulations on condensing so much information and articulating it so well. It is helping with my tempranillo vines! Cheers from the Ribera de Duero, Spain!
Thank you so much for your appreciative comments. I am glad that you find it so useful. It means a lot to me to produce something of value to others.
Thank you so much for your extremely concise and educational videos! I will definitely start using sulfur against powdery mildew!
Glad it was helpful!
hi is there gonna be any other lectures they are helping me a lot
Yes , many more. It takes a long-time to make a video. The next one will be on phloem transport.
Thank you so much you're a life saver
You’re welcome!
Sir vibe should be cut 2nodes same as 3rd year to4th n 5th continue
I’m not sure I understand your question. Please explain further.
Every year we should leave 2 or 3 nodes
Yes leave two buds per spur. In general for most varieties this will make two shoots with two clusters each.
I have prepared a warm space for the different Pinot varietals that I ordered, to be planted close to two conference peartrees, to climb in, so that they will be elevated beyond the cold layers during late frost. As you adviced that Pinot Meunier is slightly frosthardier than the other Pinot varietals, I will plant it in the coldest spot of the Pinot patch. Last night, I saw a report on how pinot vineyards were damaged in Limburg, the South of the Netherlands. I had no frost damage on the 38 varietals that I already have growing in my front and backgarden. This week I will get an additional 12 varietals and next week another 29. Next week the late frost will be over. Lining my garden with shrubs and trees, keeps the warm air inside. and I could lower my home heating costs by 20%. By lining the garden with trees, shrubs. I reasoned that what works for my heating costs, also may work for my grapevines. I lost quite a few young grapevines to harsh frost and to late frost. I plant my grapevines now in slightly elevated beds, among fruiting shrubs and fruiting trees creating microclimates around the grapevines. Blocking cold air from entering your vineyard isn't so difficult. Trees, shrubs or earthen banks can block cold aircurrents from entering the vineyard. Allowing cold air to exit the vineyard unobstructed is the other way to avoid frost damage. I paved the area around the planted beds. No weeds will suck up rainwater and pests don't find refuge between the weeds. Frost and pest damage is thus minimized. Black birds and other birds deal with pests that remain. Seed and wheat eating birds migrate to the countryside when grapes ripen . Thanks for another great video!
You’re welcome!
Nice report. I'm tending to a small Pinot Noir vineyard that has been abandoned for a few years so I don't have any history of past powdery mildew infections. I did my first sulfur (3Tsp/GAL) spray last week and covered all the leaves, canes and trunk. I mixed in some seaweed extract which is supposed to help with adhesion and iron/zinc mix which is supposed to help with shatter. Have you heard of this? I'm going to spray on a 14 day schedule. Do you have any suggestions on when to reduce the sulfur amount per gallon? Also, how often should I be spraying the bark areas like the trunk? Thanks!
I only spray the back early in the season. If you have no or little powdery mildew you may not need the high dosage and reduce spraying. It really depends on your conditions. Once you have powdery mildew you should stay vigilant!
New to grape vines. Im trying to figure out best way to get mine established. In ground or in large pot. We may move. So..I have 2 vines that are 1 yr old...I figure I would keep them in pots, wondering about the pruning. If they are in pots for next two years or so...and we want to move them...how much of the cordons is safe to prune off in order to move the plants.
It is very hard to kill the vines. You can prune them back as far as you want and latent buds will break to make a new trunk or cordons or extensions on the cordon.
@@grantcramer Thankyou for your reply, I appreciate that. So..its basically all good.
Thanks for your assessment about Rivaner. I ordered some 45 varietals to be planted in my front and back yard. I plan to plant Rivaner in a location of my garden where it will possibly survive the winterfrost, growing among my cherry and apple trees. Most of my German varietals are more resistant against frost and I put them in the garden that faces the river. I plant the 'weak varietals' together in my more protected backgarden, together with most older french winegrapes. The modern varietals mostly are selected on basis of hardiness and resisting mildew and fungus. I hope to create a small grape arboretum, so that it may teach Dutch winegrowers and winelovers about which choice to make. Dutch wineries are still expanding and they often go for famous names while modern varietals are more promising. Your videos help me not to make common mistakes in growing and making wine. Your scientific approach helps to get real facts. I discovered that allowing trees and high trellisses support the wines is benificial to both fruit trees and vines. I can harvest 30 kilo of fruits from a single varietal and have them higher up where wind will dry the leaves and fruits, preventing fungus and allow birds to eat the aphids and insects. Growing biological grapes requires more preparation, but gives more and better fruits and saves on chemicals. I haven't made wine yet.
Thank you!
Thanks so much I really needed this!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much! Greetings from METU, Türkiye.
Thank you too!
So, I have some grapes (Victoria Red, Southern Sensation) in post purchased a few weeks ago. The Victoria Red are already about 6 ft tall and the Southern Sensation are about 3 ft high. Do I treat them as '1st year' plants and let them continue to grow, or start pruning and training?
That's a good question! I am not really sure of the answer. I think you could go either way. You could prune them back and train them the way you want or you could leave them alone and prune them back next year. My guess is they will be fine either way. Either way they will start to put more energy to develop the root system and restore balance in the plant.
Whoa, Grant, amazing job! I just discovered your channel yesterday and finished watching the Backyard Vineyard playlist today. I really appreciate the highly scientific approach and well-documented experiments. This is exactly what all paper books lack and is essential for those without prior outdoor experience. I've subscribed, so I hope you'll have the resources to continue this series. It's truly outstanding and an underrated format. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I am happy that you find it useful. I do plan to continue at least for several more years.

Hi Grant. I am working on a small vineyard in lawn. How do you keep the circle patch around base clear of grass?
First I dug out all of the grass. Then with a shovel or trowel, I recut the edges making them a little wider. Hand pulling as well. That's it. NO HERBICIDES!
@@grantcramer you just hand pull every few weeks for the maintenance? I'm located in the mid west, different grass types. Can I email you a quick photo of my setup and see if I'm doing anything wrong?
Sure, send me a photo. My grass doesn't grow that fast. Maybe once of month weeding is all that is needed, and it usually is only certain places.
@@grantcramer your edu email fine?
Yes
Thank you professor for this jam-packed lecture
You're very welcome!
Do i cut back the dead damaged vines and train a new one up? 👍
You can if they are not grafted vines.
I was taught how to make dolmathes (stuffed vine leaves) in Greece. But the leaves on my English grapes are too 'fingered' to do this. Climate, variety or nutrition please??
Most likely it is the variety that is giving that leaf shape. Herbicides can cause odd looking leaves as well.
@@grantcramer Much obliged for you reply Grant.
Thanks Grant. I continue to follow all of your videos.
That's awesome Bill, I am honored that you can find the time. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
