Frost Effects on Grape Crops Vary by Variety
The report outlines how frost damage affects grape varieties differently. Thompson Seedless and similar types benefit from no intervention when only shoot tips are frosted, while Malaga and related varieties may require removing shoots frost-killed below the flower clusters to recover a portion of the crop.
