We Save the Newly Planted Vines

Last September , Joe Gapuz visited my place and provided new Cuttings when he learned that I almost loss all my grapes. We planted this cutting last October and they started to grow. But then again the same problem occurred , cut leaves , crumpled leaves and half eaten stem. By November we already loss 10 out of  30 newly planted cutting. It was really very frustrating but when  we see what happened to the fruiting grapes, we immediately   covered the planted cuttings with screen.

True to our expectation the infestation stop

To this period all the remaining newly planted cuttings are doing good



Because of the success (learning all the ropes the hard way) , we are now ready to plant our first commercial Vineyard in Palawan this 2015. Our experimental vineyard here in Tarlac will continue to grow under the supervision of Dave. We are expecting to grow at least 50 Vines ,till the middle of 2015. Once pruning starts by mid of 2015 out of the cuttings we expect to be able to plant more.


The prospective Vine Yard in Berong Palawan will have initial 100 Vines , we expect to plant by February after we have prepared everything this January and it will be under the supervision of Badong.

So if you wish to learn how it is done , follow my blog. I will be doing an activity blog of the Palawan Vineyard Resort set up. I hope you enjoyed reading
