Grape Question of the Month:
Q: Will temperatures below 32 degrees F hurt grape vines?
A: Yes, they can. Unopened grape buds can be damaged at 28 degrees F or lower. However, buds that have already opened can be damaged at temperatures of 31 degrees F or lower. The amount of injury or damage is dependent on the stage of growth and the duration of the cold temperature.
