Kelowna and Similkameen regions March 16th and 17th 2026

This SuRDC Grape Bud Hardiness report from varieties sampled mainly in the Kelowna and Similkameen regions on March 16^th and 17^th.  The report contains hardiness tables for the LTE₁₀ , LTE₅₀ and LTE₉₀ values.  Our understanding is that this is the final hardiness report of the season.

**NOTE: SuRDC no longer have access to Google Drive, so the Google Drive locations will no longer be updated.  Until an alternative cloud storage is permitted, the SuRDC Hardiness reports, GDD reports, and any SuRDC Newsletters will only be distributed via email.
