VASCM: Source for End Post Labels and Opinions on Cane Pruning

[Ed Muns]

http://www.eartagsdirect.com/other-tags/perma-flex-orchard-tag-custom.html

I brought samples of this end-post tag to a VASCM meeting last summer.  They
are available in eight colors and with up to two lines of custom text in
addition to the large numeral in the middle.  I color-coded mine to the
clone in each block and included a line of text with the clone and rootstock
plus the block name.  

One advantage with this vendor is that you can specify a start and end
number so you only buy the tags you need for you specific vineyard layout.
Other vendors make you purchase in set blocks of numbers, e.g., 1-25.

Some people in our appellation have been running trials with cane vs. spur
pruning for Pinot Noir and will likely respond to your query.

Regards,
Ed
