We are busy in the 🍇 field taking data, such as ☀️, 🌡️, 💦stress, 🍃nutrients, 🍃gas exchange, and drone flight. We collect as much data as possible before our July 23rd #rootstock field day @ucanr West Side REC. Please register here https://t.co/rSvO9gegpE

We enjoyed gathering with California wine grape growers this week at #AlliedGrapeGrowers 74th annual meeting. AGG President Jeff Bitter provided a most informative wine industry update. Prepare to read about it in American Vineyard soon!

It has been a sad year and lost two #viticulture colleagues. George @ucanr and Anita @ucdavisCAES. Just had a nice chat with George at grape symposium this January at Kearney REC. @grapetweets @UCANRpam
A great mentor & friend, George Leavitt passed this morning. A @ucanr Viticulture Farm Advisor & plant pathologist w expertise in grape trunk diseases & powdery mildew. First met George while @ucdavis, working on grape measles. Always great conversations. He's deeply missed. RIP

#Grape can be grown for 🍷 raisins and table grape 🍇! It can also be grown for shade! Very interesting project @ucanr to explore the use of 🍇 and other vine #plants to provide urban cooling. Vigorous and 🍇 producing vines can achieve both shading and urban farming!
UC experts, including Dr. Natalie Levy, are working on a multi-state research project with CDFA, UC Davis, and others. "Climate Ready Vines for the Western U.S." explores using vines as a faster, eco-friendly alternative to trees for cooling buildings and reducing solar loads.
