Old Grape Vine. Should I peel off the old flaking bark from the main vines of an old black grape. It had scale a few years ago when I was away for a while and unable to spray it regularly.

Hi Lois, . If it is just the one plant it is feasible to rub of the flaking bark, you will still need to give it a good spray with Enspray oil to kill of Scale and other overwinter nasties.

Thanks the Palmers Team
