Greenhouse Update - Leafed out and growing strong

Hello Gang,

Wanted to post an update 3 weeks ago but life has gotten in the way and eaten up most of my free time.

Anyway, everyone loves pictures so here we go.

trees1.jpg  No idea what is going on with the tree dead center, 4th from left. VS Black I think it is, no growth at all anywhere except from the tips. Wondering if this is FMV causing this, was like this last year as well.
trees2.jpg  They all appear happy in the greenhouse, leafed out and forming figlets. Slightly light green leaves on some, which will remedy with some fertilizer.
trees3.jpg  Two VBD trees here temporarily. They are just about touching the plastic roof, so they stay in here for a month to leaf out then outside they go as I need the room for 'maters.

Fig on the White Triana, tree has only produced one fig for some reason. Tree is pictured on the far left in the first photo.

Col De Dame Gris here, which came from UCD last year. Took this cutting months to finally root, and I forced it under grow lights most of the winter to make sure it survives. I'm hesitant to take the figs off as I'm really anxious to taste them.

Col De Dam Noir here, which I also forced under the lights. Growing well and producing figlets!!

Have some cuttings growing as well, VDB RDB, Dauphine from UCD, and a few White Triana. I'll take some pics and add to this later today if I don't have to be the shuttle service for the kids.


BTW CdD Grise is not part of the UCD collection, they have Blanc and Noir only. You may want to check your source. Most CdD Grise originate from Msr. Pierre Baud in France.

Looks like a breba on the White Triana.MBVS is always the last to leaf out for me.
Nice work.

Cheers,

Paul

rafaelissimmo,your right and thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just checked the tag from UCD and it just says Col De Dam, and nothing else. Not sure if it's CdD Blanc, or Noir as you mentioned. Hmmm....

 

Mike, CdD Blanc from UCD is tagged as DFIC 74. Their cuttings come with tags, so if it is the other number then it is definitely the CdD Noir!

It's labeled DFC 74.0000A - Blanc it is.
