This
bud survived a light frost Friday morning (31.6 degrees, some damage to
seedlings I forgot to protect), and a hard freeze on March 26 (11 days
ago, 25 degrees).
This is a unique trait in my vineyard. I've never gotten a blossom from a vine that had leafed out prior to a frost. Perhaps this is a Texas adaptation since late frosts are so common. Doaniana is special.
This, and two subsequent Doaniana vines with blossoms, turned out to be male. We still don't have a Doaniana seedling that will produce berries.
