Re: Split Vine
Thanks Bob and Alun for your replies.
The split is lengthwise and is about six inches long. It is sort of opening
up if that makes sense so you can see inside the vine. Would covering the
split help or hinder and/or should I just dust with fungicide? I think
the split is too open to scar over but then I'm new :))
Thanks again, Sheryll.
