This experiment was conducted to know tolerance to cold temperature of the grape shoots collected at different locations and dormant periods in 1996 to 1997. The results from this experiment were as follows; (1) There is a little difference among locations in their electric conductance of Campbell Early cultivar, in Dec. 1996. But the least damage was shown at Kyung Joo while severe at Young Dong district in Jan. 1997. (2) Electric conductance of Sheridan cultivar was showing the same tendency as Campbell Early. (3) Early dormant period(December) affected severe bud browning at Young Dong than that of January. The grape shoot collected at Kyung San and Kyung Joo Showed a little influence on bud browning during December and January. (4) Likewise, bark browning of the grape shoot collected at Young Dong showed the same tendency with bud browning test. (5) The bud of grape shoot was bursted even at $-20^{circ}C$. But rate of bud bursting was lower at Young Dong than the other districts at $-15^{circ}C$ and $-20^{circ}C$. From these results, the authors believe that we must introduce and test for suitable cultivation area and temperature before selection of permanent cultivating location.
