WVIT Grape Growing and Wine Making Practice Test

In grape anatomy, the stalk that connects each individual berry to the main grape rachis is the pedicel. The pedicel is the tiny stalk that holds a berry to the central axis, allowing each grape to hang along the rachis while remaining attached. The rachis is the main stem of the cluster itself, not the connecting stalk for a single berry. The term dermal refers to the skin of the berry, and xylem is the tissue involved in water transport, not the berry’s attachment stalk.
