I just talked to my supplier in Europe and he will have Grenache on Ruggeri 140 for me in a few months. I will plant them on my farm there.....the region is hot a zone 9-10 I beleive. Anyone ever use Ruggeri rootstock?
Good luck with grenache there Here's some info on Ruggeri 140 http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/datastore/datastoreview/showpage.cfm?usernumber=183&surveynumber=351 Cheers
thanks... the conditions are suited for Grenache...it is in the same vicinity as olive trees. The summers are long, hot and dry....the climate is dry. Ruggeri 140 rootstock is the most vigorous and disease resistant and drought resistant that there is.
