Cold Hardiness of Grapes:
A guide for Missouri
growers
by Marilyn Odneal
Grapevine hardiness is a major factor in the selection
of species and varieties for production in a particular area. Cultivated
grapevines are often grown in areas not entirely suited to their optimum
growth and development. The grower must choose cultivars, sites, and
cultural techniques that will maximize profit as well as produce a quality
product from season to season. Cold injury is, at times, a problem in
Missouri and must be considered in order to maintain consistent, high
quality production. This bulletin is organized to introduce the problem of
cold injury to grapevine, to list cultural techniques that minimize or
prevent injury, and to provide a reference to winter bud hardiness data from the State
Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain Grove.
