You can see that after a few years, the accumulated secondary phloem provides good protection to the stem: the old phloem consists of dead, collapsed sieve tube members mixed with bands of dead thick-walled fibers. This would be quite a mess for any animal to chew through.
Crown gall is an important disease of wine grapes when they are grown in cold climates. Gall formation on the aerial part of the vines is the most common symptom associated with this disease. The bacterium which causes crown gall may be present in plants that do not show any symptoms.
This may not be Italy, but grapes can be successfully grown in Saskatchewan with proper care and a warm sunny summer. However, grapes are not a prominent fruit crop in the province, and most growers enjoy them for home consumption.

Grape phylloxera is an insect native to the eastern United States, where it subsists on native grape varieties. Most native varieties have developed a tolerance to the insect. Historically, grape phylloxera has been of minor concern in these growing areas.
Bushy, short-jointed woody vine often covering shrubs or rocks, seldom climbing trees. Branches tomentose when young but becoming glabrous. Tendrils usually rare, short. Leaves usually thick and somewhat leathery, suborbicular to broadly triangular-ovate, 6-10 cm (2.
Introduction Grape berry moth (GBM) is a key insect pest of grapes in the Northeast US. This species is native to North America and is found east of the Rockies in wild habitats in close association with wild grape, Vitis riparia.
