Great, looking forward to the reworked article. Don't feel shy at all about removing large chunks, a lot of it is there simply to have some base information to work off of, but it's too dense and long for a gardeners purposes.
Hi Beamer, welcome aboard! It will be great to have your input and knowledge here. The goal for articles is to have very easy to read, accessible information aimed at home gardeners, so the entire Standard Cyclopedia text for grapes for example can be removed if it's replaced with even a paragraph or two of relevant, current information for home gardeners.
