Re: Flat vine vs. round vines?
I have the Daletas 1230 and the Van 945 and both have primary vines that are
oblong (not quite flat). The leaves on the vines look great and the vines
show good vigor. I'm wondering if flat vine syndrome is a byproduct of
these massive vines or is it a true deformity? I also notice that these
larger vines have a greater tendency to split and are less pliable.
