Grape |
 | | Grapes are adapted to a wide variety of soil conditions, from high pH and slightly saline, to acidic and clayey. |
 | | Vinifera grapes have low chilling requirements, 100-500 hr, and tend to break bud early and are frost prone in many regions. |
 | | The grape phylloxera (Dactylosphaera vitifolii, Homoptera), also called the grape root louse (actually an aphid), was introduced to Europe from eastern North America in the 1860s, where it caused the most significant pest-related disaster in all of fruit culture. |
