Ok people, challenge for you. It's closing in on mid-June and that means in MI the grape vine leaves will start having something either happen to them or get to them. I've searched the web, taken samples to nurseries, and no one can tell me what the thing is or how to stop it. On the top of the leaf it looks like a pucker and on the underside of the leaf a pimple.
This has been going on for over 40 years and being married Arabic grape leaves are important to us. Please help us.

me to . my name is MAHFOOD.
it is a parasite native to the northern us. harvest the leaves in may before the temp gets to be 80 for 3 days in a row.
they would do better in a green house, on a trellus. if you want fruit you have to pollinate them your self.
control the acess to the plants by the bug.
it is like a mite and just that size.
i have seen this also as a genetic defect like a cancer,but thats rare.

I also have wandering grapes (an enormous amount) that are getting so heavy this year that they are making all of my trellis' fall down. I am now using only metal trellis' and arbors (which hold heavier grapes as this is an old vine) and also wire, to help them stretch across on something beside the electric and telephone lines. There is so much online about grapevines...try this one and if this doesn't cover it, try another. Don't give up. http://www.canr.msu.edu/vanburen////e-1732.htm.
