Mike ------- I'm seeing this happening more this year than before. Think it's all the rainfall.

Still, the theory that certain species are more prone is likely. My Datil bunch has this problem and it looks like the latest hand to show will be lost. It's happening slowly.

So - in wet years cut the bud off at 8 to 10 inches from the last female hand.

I love throwing the bud over the fence into the vacant lot like a grenade. I yell --- "fire in the hole".
