No Sour Grapes Here

Rombough's text covers growing grapes very thoroughly. It is admittedly biased toward an organic approach, but does not omit comments for non-organic growers. The book is well organized and readable. Rombough presents interesting tidbits, anecdotes and views in shaded boxes, allowing the more experienced grower to skip around. The material is also organized so that a methodical reading results in a solid grounding in organic viticulture. Also included are rudiments for breeding grapes and a list of suppliers for materials mentioned in the text. As mentioned by another reviewer, this text is an especially welcoms addition for the non-California grower. For anyone wanting to do more than plant a single grapevine, this book is an excellent reference and will prove to be a benchmark for some time.

Ordered by accidentally but....

I asked my wife to get me for xmass Jeff Cox's book "From Vines to Wines". Accidentally she put also "The Grape grower" to the basket. Well I am not sorry. The book is full of usefull information about the process of growing grapes. I like the authors attitude towards local grapes. Some of them are grown also here in Hungary, but they are forbiden here, because they are not from the Vitis Vinifera. People do grow them, but there is not too much information about them. Thanx for the great info !!!

Great book for the novice

This is a really great book filled with more information than you would ever need about growing grape vines, particularly for the novice grower. Easy reading and just an all around great book.

I purchased this book based upon the idea of wanting to plant a vine or two because my grandmother had a couple of grape vines I remembered as a child.

Be careful, after reading this book I now have 10 vines in the ground with visions of many more and looking for a way to quit my job and make a living at it.

The Bible of Viticulture

The secret to success in any growing venture is to know the facts, and plant and maintain your garden accordingly. Lon Rombough, who has been growing grapes in Oregon for over 36 years, provides extremely thorough information on siting and establishing the vineyard, training and pruning the vines, pests, diseases and animal pests, propagation and breeding. This book covers EVERYTHING the small grower needs to know.

Rombough's varietal discussions are especially interesting and useful. Did you know that there are hundreds of luscious grape varieties? But unless you know of a local unusual farmers' market, the only way you will probably get to taste them is to grow them yourself.

The control of pests and diseases is a big challenge for the backyard grape grower, especially those trying to stay organic. Ronbough says that organic grape growing is a new field (although a century ago all grapes were organic) and admits that organic methods are still developing. He devotes a substantial chapter to the numerous strategies available to organic growers. Techniques for pruning, training, trellising and propagating are well illustrated. There are also drawings of insect pests for identification and color photos of numerous grape varieties.

In conclusion, this is THE book to consult on grape production.

Lon is a great writer, a great person and his passion for grape growing is evident in this long-awaited masterpiece.

I own many grape growing books as the author of grapeseek.com but if I need to look up something about how to start cuttings or refresh myself on pruning, THIS is this book that I refer to...It's as simple as that!

You can purchase twenty books on grape growing but you only need this one, no matter if you have one vine or an entire vineyard.
