LIVINGSTON 8 How Well Do Your Grapes Reproduce? Dear Plant Doctor: Please tell mc what to do about my grape vines. My vine is six years old a^d has never had grapes on it. Some years, the vine blooms but the flowers fall off and no grapes form. Help! Answer: 1 assume you have mus cadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia ) be cause bunch grapes ( Vitis vinifera) will not survive more than five years in the southeast United States due to r^irntco " I IV I VV O L/I.rvuov. Muscadine grapes are generally very disease- and pest-free when compared to other fruit or vegetable crops. The lack of fruit on you vines could be due to any number of fac tors: poor soil fertility, unfavorable weather conditions, insufficient light, water, etc. Muscadine grape cultivars vary in the ability to be self-fruitful. Some cultivars (i.e.; Fry, Hunt and Higgins) have imperfect flowers. In other words, they have no male flower parts, thus no pollen is avail able for pollination. You may have a muscadine cultivar that requires a pollinator. Select cultivars that have perfect flowers, ie; both male and female flower parts) and plant several culti vars to ensure pollination. Albemarle, Dorccn, Carlos, Magnolia, Dixie and Nesbiu arc all cultivars that are perfect-flowered. 1 am sending you two N.C. Cooperative Extension Publications tilled "Muscadine Grape Production Guide for North Carolina, AG-94" and "Grapes and Berries for the Garden, AG- 15" to help you get those grape vines producing again. Dear Plant Doctor: ! have a problem. Every year 1 seem to iose another pine tree due to borers. 1 spray them from the ground up to about eight feet with a recommend ed insecticide. How often should we do this? Is there anything else we should do? How long is a pine tree's life ex pectancy? I hate to see them die and would like to do all 1 can to ensure their survival. Thank you for your articles; they arc very interesting. Answer: I am very familiar with the trees in your neighborhood. Pine trees arc sensitive to any change in their environment, especially in ur ban environments or new subdivi sions. Pine borers and other pests of ^ minium THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE Williams Extension Area Turf Specialist pine trees seem to have a sixth sense that allows them to locatc trees that arc under environmental stress. I routinely see trees that arc dying three to five years alter being dam aged by large machinery, soil grad ing or other human activities. Even in aa'as not touchcd by develop ment, overcrowding of trees can cause severe stress and thus lead to insect infestation of pine trees. Pine borers arc often the insects that put the "death blow" to these stressed trees. Healthy tree stands arc only rarely damaged by severe attacks of borers. Healthy, well-maintained pine trees are much less likely to bccomc infested with insccts or diseases. 1 am sending you several publications that I believe will help: "Southern Pine Beetles in North Carolina, Extension Folder 274." "Stress Triggered Tree Diseases: The Dicbacks and Declines, USD Forest Service, publ. NE-INF-41-81," and "Some Common Pine Diseases in North Carolina Landscapes and Their Control, Plant Pathology Information Note 192." These publications should help you identify and solve the problem in you yard. Dcsr P!ur.t Doctor: I hit! looking for gourd seeds In a visit to the N.C. Zoo, I observed a gourd with a long neck that looked like the head of a goose. 1 would like to find a seed source for this kind of gourd. If you or some of your readers could help me with seed sources for gourds, I sure would appreciate it. Answer: Gourd gardeners of North Carolina, I need your help. If you arc a source or know of a source of gourd seeds, please write to me and I will forward the information. Thanks. Send your gardening questions to The Plant Doctor, P.O. Box 109, Bolivia, N.C. 28422. Please enclose a SASE with the proper postage if requesting information or a reply.
