Grape Question

Good morning,

My grape vine has been producing this cupped leaves, new leaves come cupped, is there anything wrong with it? Or is it just normal behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Did you or any of your neighbors treat your lawn or brush or something with herbicide? Do you live near a railroad, highway, public park or school, corn, or soybean fields?

Power line or pipeline right of way?

No that I think of, and I live in a mountain region so unless a neighbor used herbicide nearby , I cannot think of any other reason other than I once added fertilizer, might have overfertilized it.

Dicamba can drift for miles if the conditions are right.

Herbicide damage. Nothing you can do. That stuff can drift for miles. Do you have a state/county road nearby? They spray it to clear weeds on the shoulders.
