Sounds like a May (cockchaffer) bug when it's flying yes? In my back garden, in Southern England. Looks quite pretty in the sun, I wondered what it was then found your pic at the top. I don't grow grapes, but I do have most of the plants they don't like to eat. I’ve seen that bug. Sounds like a May (cockchaffer) bug when it’s flying yes? In my back garden, in Southern England.

I wish this blog will open for more discusion on the subject. I have question about prunning, what is the purpose of the short spur and repeat the process every year? I have an arbor trellis and the vines are all on the top. Cut off all this years growth and leave only a few? Your book provide an excellent information and have good reviews. Hi Danie,

Hope you will have some grapes next season, just make sure you prune the vine with enough fruiting canes this winter. Danie Hi Eddie,

Maybe some other readers from the UK can comment on this. Isn't the "brown line" the pith you are refering to? The pith is normally a dark brown, spongy "tube" in the middle of each cane/stem. From what I read, it seems like your vine has some kind of fungus. Send me some pictures and I will have a look at them. Hi Geoff

If you decide to go ahead and pick them, I would say remove the "not ready" berries. Hi Richard,
