bud break and beyond

Kim VanDyke sent this photo...Cabernet Sauvignon beginning the 2020 season. Notice the 'apical dominance' being presented on the shoot visible towards the left of this photo? The most distal buds appear to have initiated growth before the more basally located buds.

Pruning wood removed from Refosco and Gewurztraminer vines in the rootstock research plots at the Farmington, ASC. Notice the difference in color of the wood? One is light and the other further up the row towards the truck is more red in color...which corresponds to Refosco and which to Gewurztraminer?  BTW: no budbreak evident at this location.
