Do I need plant protectors?
We always recommend adding a plant protector after planting. Plant protectors shield young vines from direct sunlight that can dry them out, while also creating a gentle greenhouse-like environment that retains moisture and helps keep the vine hydrated.
Plant protectors are essential for newly planted vines and should be installed immediately after planting. They can be removed the following year, once the vine has strengthened and is securely tied to the stake.
