A paper-lined kangina, opened to access the grapes stored inside Closed kangina. Kangina [a] (Dari: کنگینه, lit. 'treasure', Dari pronunciation: [kʌn'ɡiːnɜ]) [1] [2] is the traditional Afghan technique of preserving fresh fruit, particularly grapes, in airtight discs (also called kangina) formed from mud and straw.
Tiny buds on the vine start to swell and eventually shoots begin to grow from the buds. Buds are the small part of the vine that rest between the vine's stem and the petiole (leaf stem). Inside the buds contain usually three primordial shoots. These buds appear in the summer of previous growth cycle green and covered in scales.
Grape clusters can vary in compactness which can result in long clusters (resulting in the grapes spreading out) or short clusters (resulting in grapes packed together). [31] In some grape species, clusters ripen collectively, which allows them to be harvested together. [32] For others, grapes may ripen individually within a cluster.

A cultivated Common Grape Vine, Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera. Use of grapes is known to date back to Neolithic times, following the discovery in 1996 of 7,000-year-old wine storage jars in present-day northern Iran. [26] Further evidence shows the Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians had vine plantations and winemaking skills.
Vitis riparia Michx, with common names riverbank grape or frost grape, [1] is a vine indigenous to North America. As a climbing or trailing vine , it is widely distributed across central and eastern Canada and the central and northeastern parts of the United States , from Quebec to Texas , and eastern Montana to Nova Scotia .
Wilting of young grape leaves followed by maturer leaves; Chlorosis signaling that photosynthesis has stopped; Necrosis of dying leaf tissue which leads to premature leaf fall; Finally, the grape berries themselves start to shrivel and fall off the vine; The effectiveness of water stress is an area of continuing research in viticulture.
Vitis aestivalis, the summer grape, [1] or pigeon grape [2] is a species of grape native to eastern North America from southern Ontario east to Maine, west to Oklahoma, and south to Florida and Texas. [3] [4] It is a vigorous vine, growing to 10 m or more high in trees.
