The easiest way I found to do this is to bend a young, flexible cane so the middle portion is touching the ground. Then place one or two chunks of firewood on top of the vine. A couple shovels of dirt are optional.<br /><br />Then tie the end of the vine up in the sun.<br /><br />It should have an awesome set of roots by next fall. Use a sharp shovel or nippers to separate the newly rooted shoot from the mama plant and transport to the new location. Best done after the leaves fall off.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-41221376818469218472019-06-06T05:02:09.791-04:002019-06-06T05:02:09.791-04:00I would love to know more about grape cuttings.

These vines produce a lot of small but very tasty grapes. We also started making our own wine last year. Scruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585297474569571832noreply@blogger.com
