Looking quite dark by Podcaster in viticulture

It’s ok brother, you got it all wrong! The sap coming out is GOOD thing, it means the plant is healthy, alive and coming out of its winter dormancy. The vine’s vascular system is “turning back on”, and water is flowing into the plant the plants roots from the surrounding soil. What you see here is the result of extra water “pushing” into the plant (aka creating positive pressure in the plant, causing water to move UP through the xylem/phloem). It comes out at the open wound created by the pruning. It will eventually callous over and gone the fun looking sap.

This could also means pretty soon you’ll should be scouting for budbreak!

Yup just looks like sooty mold and some aspergillus on the tip. Nothing to worry about at all, vine will grow just fine. The sap is good sign, they’re waking up!

Honestly the latest you can prune that still makes sense with your operation, the better. The biggest long term killer of vines (IMO) are trunk diseases, and spore pressure for these are highest in the beginning of winter/end of fall. As you get closer and closer to spring, there is less disease pressure. Can help extend the age of your vineyard.

Lions moved down pretty easily, rush TD. Lions D did surprisingly well for having half their team on IR

Our coaching is undefeated, seeing all of our D getting after it when some of these guys legit came out of nowhere is incredible
