Turn a Few Grape Vines Into An Entire Vineyard In a Couple Weeks With Green Cuttings
ฝัง

- Grape vines can be pretty expensive to buy, and when you get into the large volumes that you need for a vineyard, it can get downright expensive. I lower my vineyard costs by starting my own cuttings. For years I made cuttings as a hobby by taking dormant wood in the fall and rooting it in spring. The problem is it takes a pretty long time from cutting to rooted vine (over a year). With this method you can get new vines rooted in the same season, in fact in just a couple of weeks, and you don't need fancy misting equipment. One variety in particular, Norton (Cynthiana), is notorious for being difficult to start from dormant cuttings. Norton is a variety that does really well in our heavy clay soil, and it works really well with organic methods because, even under high disease pressure, it has beautiful clusters every season with no pesticides, chemical or organic. In this video I take cuttings of Norton and show how easy it is.

I take hardwood cuttings in the spring as soon as the leaf buds swell. I usually take about three nodes per cuttings and shove em deep in the soil or in a big pot with a bread bag over top. Then by fall they are more then established. I also do green cuttings they root very well in pots with bread bags over top. Or a good humidity tent would work. I use indirect light for green cuttings and i usually put them next to a wall or on the concrete in pots to get the bottom to heat up faster. But with harwood sort of almost awake cuttings in spring they can be in full sun as long as you give them adequate water. I dont use rooting horomone for either and i find with green cuttings there is a higher succes rate but it requires a lil more care as for the spring cuttings they are so mucb easier and i usually have around 80% or more succes. Anyways thanks for the info i love watching vids on propogation.
Nice video - Thanks.
Some other things you could use as growth hormornes are Willow Tip Water (the fresh growing tips off willow branches soaked in water to extract their hormornes) or water soluble asprin (salasilic acid found in asprin is one of the plant growth hormornes found in willow tips)
Honey is used for its antibacterial properties. It is not a rooting hormone.
Thank you for the great information! I have been saving vines from a neighbor who settled here in the teens and twenties, it could be from a time when local nurseries raised varieties just for local environments. Glad to see how to propagate them! Thank you very much, you're helping to save our diverse varieties of grapes. 🍇
I have to keep telling my wife, "plants aren't furniture, don't move them!" I can't believe you pulled out more than one to show the roots. :-)
That's funny... my wife is constantly digging up plants to move "somewhere else". So many sad plants in shock, trying to hang on.... so it goes.
Just for demonstration purposes. I wouldn't recommend it.
😂
I don't believe furniture should move either. I hate it. Figure out the most space efficient layout day you move in and leave it forever I say.
Well now yall tell me. I thought I was saving it from the neighbors weed eater and mower. I even broke my shovel digging it up. 😂
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. It's September here in Reno but I'm going to try it anyway. It's still warm and leaves are green and plants are producing delicious pink and green grapes
I just happened across your video and you have taught me more about getting cuttings from the vine and eventually to the vineyard in a very short time. The video was concise, understandable and extremely informative. I am going to go the hunt for the rooting hormone you mentioned so I can begin with my own cuttings. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for showing us. I can't wait to try my own!
Greetings from New Zealand. Thanks for the informative podcast and for sharing your experience in grape cuttings. I've noted it in my diary for our summer and will try this out. One of your followers asked about aloe vera as a rooting hormone. I will try this out too along with the usual rooting powder.
Try Clonex rooting solution - the powders often don’t work well.
Thank you for sharing your learnings!
I've got squeaky cutters like that too! But seriously, This isn't difficult at all. Vines root really, really easily and the best way is to lay a stretch of vine on the ground, cover several nodes with earth and cut free and pick up your new vine three months later. It's called ground layering.
Yes that is a great way to propagate grapes, but it's not as fast as green cuttings, though probably more reliable with difficult to root varieties. I propagate my Norton that way.
It's even easier than all that. Lay a stretch of vine on soil already in a bucket. After it roots, cut it from it's parent source. Now you have a new vine independent of the parent and it's already in a bucket and ready to move
Any chance of seeing what the vines look like now please ?
i have scuppernong gold muscadines and they are immune to most of grape problems they will grow just about ant soil my soil is very sandy and they are loaded this year you need gold and black to polinate they go up 1 1/4 in dia nice iwill try my cutting like you did so i can add to my vinyard
Great content! You have a new subscriber :) Dreaming of my own organic vineyard & sustainable life. Love from Europe x
Good to have you as a subscriber!
One question. When you leave the cuts in a bucket, did you leave them outside with the cover on, or did you leave inside? I've watched a few videos now and it's somewhat unclear where the cuts are kept, how much air/water they need, etc... The fact that you mentioned you went on a vacation added to my confusion. Thanks in advance.
I put them in the bucket with the lid on and leave them in a spot outside that will get light, but not direct sunlight. You don't want them to cook.
@@HardcoreSustainable Thanks a lot and your response is just in time! My vines almost have enough growth to give this a shot.
Thank you so much. I am up north (Canada) and I have some Frontenac vines that I would like to propagate. Our winters are severe.
What would you suggest doing with the rooted cuttings the first year, ie as soon as they have rooted? You said you put them in a nursery row and then dig them up and plant them in the vineyard,the spring, but what would happen if I just plant them and let them grow in situ? I'm just not clear how to keep them through that first winter. Thanks again.
You could plant the cuttings directly, but I think putting them in a nursery row with really good soil is the best way to get them vigorous and develop a good root system. You also might no know which cuttings will survive the first year, and if you plant them out you will have weak cuttings and strong mixed together. If you plant a nursery row, you can select the biggest healthiest cuttings for the vineyard and they will like thrive.
Thanks bro. Great work. I have been looking everwer for this info. Thank you
Thankyou for this video! Question: does it make it any easier if you slightly scrape the bottoms of the cuttings before dipping them? It seems to me like that would allow the hormone to penetrate a bit better?
Edit: Also! How long do you leave the cuttings in the bucket before transplanting then to their final spot? Do you wait until there’s a specific amount of growth, or until a specific time of year after starting them?
I've never seen that suggested for grape cuttings but it might help. The only problem might be in promoting rot because it would create more dead tissue to breed bacteria and that might interfere with the grape cutting forming callous tissue. Might be worth a shot though to test it.
I shared this video on my @suburbanhomesteaderwy page on Facebook. It is so interesting.
Thank you for this video as there were no other videos I could find with propagating green grapevine cuttings. I need to propagate my seeded Concord, Niagara, Catawba, & Muscadine grapevines for more plants in addition to giving some to my neighbors so that they will have their own. Instead of me performing all the work & running up my light & water bill while they come & harvest them. Shalom!
Brilliant stuff👍 very helpful info, thank you.
One thing I've discovered from experience with cuttings: just go for it. If it's stemmy, goes from soft to hardwood, etc. Just do a bunch of cuttings, stick them in some dirt and see what happens. 😂 Then if it doesn't work go look and see if there is anything on it
I just did some cuttings of wild muscadine vines and a grape vine a few weeks ago. They're looking good. Didn't even lose their leaves. I'm gonna check in the morning and see if they have any roots.
I gotta be honest, you've definitely helped inspire me to try my own. While I am taking a different approach, I have enjoyed your tutorials. Thanks for the help!
Green grape vine cuttings - it's June 21, here in zone 7b and I am following the green cuttings protocol. Starting with about tweny cuttings from two different grape vines. Thank you sharing how to start grape vines from cuttings.
You'll end up with a grape vine forest at this rate, great video thanks.
Great video, thank you for sharing. Do you have an update video on these cuttings? I would love to see how you planted them and how they are doing now.
I don't have an update video yet. I did plant them out in a nursery bed in the garden and then moved them to the vineyard to fill in gaps.
You must live in a warm place. I’m propagating my grandfathers Concord grape vines from our farm’s 100 year old Concord grape vines. So awesome. But it’s a little different here on East Coast.
You are right though, not many good videos for this on TH-cam.
As for thickness of vines, not “thicker the better” and not “closer nodes the better”. But the ones you have look good. 👍🏼
And on East Coast it would be last year’s growth, not “this years growth”. Just saying.
Great job.
These are green cuttings, which means this year's growth. Last year's growth would not be green cuttings, they would be dormant cuttings of last year's growth. There are tons of videos on dormant cuttings. The problem with them is that you have to wait until fall or early winter to take them and then wait all winter to plant them out. The entire point of this video is that it's about GREEN CUTTINGS. You take these in the middle of the season from THIS YEAR'S GROWTH and then root by the end of the season and are ready to plant out the following spring.
So, this is different from what you are talking about.
Jamie Lannister with some great tips on cloning grapes.
😁 I've never heard that comparison
I was thinking younger, American Bronn
Nicely done. Clear instructions, easily understood, with results both good and bad. I'll be giving this experiment a go next season for Northern varieties. We are in upper Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom. Have you tried to winter cuttings once started in a green house to set roots further rather than the nursery Route?
I wonder if less interruption of the growing process, ie: multiple transplants, might benefit the vines better.
Yes, definitely less transplanting would help, and making sure that they have really good roots established when you transplant. I've done dormant cuttings before and they work good too, but they take longer to root from the time you take them since they have to be overwintered.
Hello! 😀 So interesting! Summer just around the corner here. So end of Summer I hope to get some cuttings. Awesome!.
That's exciting! What a great experiment and tutorial. Thanks, Dan. As always, your experiments and hard work inspire me.
Thanks Dianne. I really appreciate your positive comments. They inspire me to continue.
Hi it;s agood idea to take cutting from the mother plant, at least you know what the grape is. I'm going to buy a Grape plant soon, then i will take cuttings, in the second season, yep buying from nursery's are expensive, thankyou.
Thanks for the video. I really appreciate your showing the cuttings and beginning of rooting two weeks later. A lot vids just show sticking them in the pot, and I'm always skeptical or curious, Did it work? I have an experiment underway.
It does work, but you have to be careful about a lot of things, like keeping the cuttings from being too wet or too dry, making sure you have a good clean soil mix, and that you coddle them until they have good root systems and top growth before planting them out in a nursery row. Good luck with yours!
Do you think you could use covonut coir combined with hydroponics solution (or a dilute version of it) to enhance rooting ?
I'm sure that would help. I don't recommend non organic methods, but you could probable do it. Also a compost tea would be another option.
Thanks for the info on the rooting hormone compound.. I bought one of the cheap ones at Walmart and checked it and it had 0.1% IBA in it..
I did some math though and if anyone else like me buys one of these cheapo mixes that only has .1% IBA in it you can get the same strength mixture by increasing the amount per quart of water added. My particular container is 56 grams at .1% IBA so I need 2.5 tsp of powder to get to the strength of his 1/4 tsp in a quart jar. So my canister will make approximately 10 quarts of rooting hormone where his will make about 44 quarts from what I assume is a 25 mg package. So if you buy the cheap stuff just put in about ten times the amount of powder 2.5 tsp as compared 1/4 and you should do fine on the strength of the rooting hormone...
Very informative! Thanks so much! Like you said, it can be very expensive! This helps lessen the cost....
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to become a successful grape grower minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
One reason grape vines are expensive from the nursery is that they are grafted onto disease resistant root stock. Simply rooting the fruit variety will not be disease resistant. Cheaper but likely to get infected and die over time.
Yes, it is true that you can get guaranteed disease free vines from a nursery and the grafted ones are more expensive because of the work involved in grafting them, and the fact that they will grow more vigorously if the rootstock is matched to the soil. Or the rootstock can slow the vigor of a vigorous variety. It might be worth it if you are planting a large commercial vineyard, but you can get a lot of green cuttings this way and treat them to be disease free on your own. You can also get your own rootstock, increase it this way, and then graft your own vines. That might not be worth the work, though. I find there is disease anyway that will find your vines and you just have to have strong healthy vines.
I have been wondering about this since I have a few vines that are absolutely vigorous, and I hate wasting so much new growth. Thank you!
One of the reasons I'm interested is because the previous owner of our place planted two grape vines that produce vigorous vegetative growth every spring, but they make no fruit because he put them in spot where they just don't get enough sun. So the good news is, there's a lot of material there for cuttings.
Hopefully by taking green cuttings I'll be able to place them in a better spot and actually get fruit out of those plants.
Wow! I am so excited I came across your video! I am going to experiment with this on my established vines I have. I just ordered seeds to grow from seed, but this method may also expedite growing more for the property! Thank you so much!
-Lorelei
Interesting. What kind of seeds did you order and where from? I've never heard of people growing grapes from seed. I mean, it's possible but you never know what you'll get and it will take a lot longer to get a vine and many years to find out if it's something useful. Starting from cuttings from a known variety is far better.
@@HardcoreSustainable hey there! Ebay hahah!! 2 sprouted (merlot) but the others didn't. I imagine someone probably chewing in a grocery store grape with seeds, spiting it out, and selling them on ebay😒 you never know! I have taken cuttings off my current vines...just wanted to try from seed. Everything I grow has been from seed, then I do my own cuttings from those, (whatever they may be). Anyways, I love your Instagram! Mine is @lilladys, and my business account is @goodnessgrown and you can see all the good stuff happening! Keep it coming!
@@loreleidresman Interesting. Yeah, you can't grow Merlot from seed so I think you've been had. Probably did just get them from some random seeded grapes. I'll check out your instagram. I haven't posted anything on mine lately. Been busy but it's so easy to post.
Root tone is my choice cheap and it works, I like your vid simple mahalo for the info, aloha from the island of oahu hawaii 96782
Hello Thank ,You so much for showing how to grow a grape vine .
Thank you for your great information 👍
Dimple, pleasant, to the point, and exactly what I have been needing to know.
I am three weeks into rooting my SWC grape vines following this method. So far so good! I started mine in first of September...hope I am not too late. Will know soon!
Have you seen any roots forming yet?
You're exactly right about rooting Norton grapes. If anyone wants to read a research article that validates your guesses, check out www.scirp.org/Journal/Paperabs.aspx?paperid=83474. A couple additional pointers: only need to dip the ends of the cuttings in the IBA solution (extra time doesn't help), and be sure to leave the growing tip end of the cutting (don't prune it in favor of another leaf).
I'd actually read that Norton started easier with green cuttings. Thanks for the link to the info and tips.
It's interesting that they don't really specify the kind of cuttings they took. Sounds like some were taken dormant before the buds broke and others throughout the season, but they don't specify whether they were from last year's growth or the current season's. It does say at one point they were taken from the growing end of a vine, but I don't know how that would be possible during the dormant months when it's not growing. Anyways, it does sound like the cuttings taken during the growing season did best, but still their best, 27% or less, is not very good success for grape cuttings.
Good to see that my grapevine cuttings have a chance. I pretty much did what you showed here. I only have 5 large new growth ones. I really hope to see roots in a few weeks. New subscriber
Good luck! I hope it goes well.
I found using fabric pots works well for rooting grape cuttings.
Thank you for aptly titling your video. Easy to find, and I'll be attempting that this spring. I have many vines that need propagating. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you found it useful.
Great information, thanks. Im finding Spring pruning is the time to get my nursery row started. Good way to expand to additional rows and replace any winter kill
You can go to Dollar Tree and pick up a bottle of aspirin put it in a coffee grinder and use that as rooting compound Because that is what rooting compound is made of For $1.25
Great video. I'll be trying this way in June/July
Great thanks to you and the algorithm :-) just what I was looking for
I just caught your video i see its 5 yrs old . I guess Its aging well lol and will always be useful. Its a good video i liked that you sourced the hormone from ebay , ive never tried it ,its a good idea tho . Ya i liked the video, its a great simple system you use .thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks, great answer to a question I asked myself this morning, I have some vines and now will have some more hopefully.
Native unpastuerized honey makes an excellent rooting compound.
ive read alovera also, any idea?
so do you dip the shoots in honey then plant it?
The Winemaker My neighbour told me yesterday he does exactly that. Choose the shoot, strip a bit of the bottom to reveal the green, dip in honey and plant. I’ve not tried it but he swears by it. He has several Concord grape vines from this method.
Great video- I’m trying green cuttings as I shoot my vineyard/ I’m trying to root them in straight perlite- thoughts?
Hi, thanks for your presentation. Could I ask you; is this the way the Seedless varieties are propagated? Given that the seeds in the seedless grapes are either tiny or non-existent, I cannot see any other method of propagation other than your cutting method. Oh another question; would layering also work? Thank you, Johnnyk.
Grapes aren't really grown from seed either way. They're like apples, you don't get them same plant the seeds came from so nobody really bothers.
M,?m? Kmoo me ;;;;;;;; me ;; no; (o mm bbbbbbbb
layering will work if done right also it may take 3 months some folks cover the layer with alum. foil to put in the dark if it takes you open the foil and see some roots thru the plastic
see where some one takes a brown wood cutting (last years growth ) 12-15 inch cutting place deep 6 inches in wet sand dont let it dry out place in indirect sunlight it takes a while so give up do several if you get one you are ahead a (free vine)
you can take a long vine in mid season dont cut it just bury it leave the end sticking out lay a rock if need to hold it down ckeck it about 3 months if it rooted cut it from mother vine and plant it
Really excellent gardening video... I’m an experienced gardener and I really appreciate your clear cut and concise video.
Thank you. I have several vines and want to propagate them. Until your videos, I was clueless about pruning and care.
Glad you found it useful!
A good learning pls give me your cutting pls thanks
I have a Norton vine, thanks, this could help me..
I do not see the na,e of this rooting stuff or a link where to find them....please May I have them
Great video,awesome knowledge
I found a bunch of concord Grapes growing in the forest
Thanks for this vid, Brother! Rare info...
Be sure the mother vine isn't one that is grafted onto improved root stock. If it is, the cuttings will not have the same vigor as the mother.
The vigor is imparted by the rootstock, so it might not have the same vigor, but that's because you will be getting the natural vigor of the variety. If you are looking to root cuttings of a specific variety, you will still get that variety, even if it's been grafted onto a rootstock. Rootstocks are usually selected to impart better growth in the particular soil you have, or other kinds of traits not naturally found in the scion variety. Taking cuttings from a variety that doesn't do well in your conditions and not putting them on a good rootstock might mean the vines will not perform well.
Any tips for getting bare root plants to get out of dormancy. In Kansas City
I made the mistake of planting and not keeping them out of direct sun. I’ve put them in the shade but they’ve been in the ground since April 30.
With the cost of buying new grapevines, you could quickly save a fortune by using this method. You mentioned the price you paid was five dollars per vine, the vines I priced recently ( in 2022) we're twelve dollars each, so you can see, you could quickly save a great deal of money by rooting your cuttings.
Yep, depending on the variety, new vines can be much more expensive. Of course, this method doesn't work for grafted vines (though you could get a lot of rootstock going), which tend to be more expensive than own rooted vines.
We are in North East Texas. Hot out now, but can I cut my growing grape vines and set them in water to root at this time of year? Will keep in pots, out of sun with plenty of water till fall to plant. Will they take or not? Donor plant is healthy and producing grapes at this time.
cool thankyou! I have tried 2 batches so far and it didnt seem to work yet, so researching and seeing this i see a few things i need to do to get better. I think i used too big and old established wood (from trimming this spring) and i did not put them in indirect light. Or cover them. So i will try batch 3 and hopefully i get some to start for me. 🙂
It may be a prudent point to make that Norton is a hybrid and not vinifera.
The rooting powder you are using I purchased same place is real. I use it for rooting and mutating. Please do not smell or touch powder or mixed liquid. I use latex gloves.
In Europe, grapevine vitis vinifera suffers for phylloxera - thats why it should be grafted on rootstocks of American hybrids which is tolerant to phylloxera
Yes. The discovery that French grapes could overcome phylloxera by being grafted onto American rootstocks saved the French wine industry. The French had begun experimenting with French-American hybrids to overcome phylloxera but they pretty much gave it up when grafting was found to work.
Even here in the US there are hybrids and some American varieties that benefit from rootstocks for the same reason. Often grafted vines will be more productive and produce better quality fruit. They can help reduce phylloxera damage but also can slow down overly vigorous varieties, or give a boost to weaker varieties. Unfortunately, I only have a few grafted vines. It's hard to say if they perform better.
You can also use Willow cuttings from a Willow tree because that's what aspirants are made from For your routine compound
Stupid question is it possible to uses the vine off of your store bought grapes to get a grape vine popin that you can get grapes growing off of. If so will they taste like the ones you bought or will it be a different strain / tasting grape. Also is the success of doing this dependent on where they where growing aka if they where grown in the USA or not.... or if they went thru some kind of sterilization/fertlization that made it not able to regenerate ...???
Likely the ones from the store are hybrids that won't come true to form. They also use different techniques and hormones to get some varieties to produce fruit without seed or to get really huge grapes. As well, the kind they sell at the store are vinifera species, so they will be adapted to a Mediterranean climate and not survive if your climate has temperatures below 10 degrees F. Usually the kinds from the store have no seed, so there is nothing to propagate a vine from. And they don't usually come with any vine attached, just the stems of the bunch. If you did a tissue culture of the stems you could probably propagate a new vine, but it would be a vinifera.
Can I start them in water? Does it have to be in a deep bucket? I have been trying to start grapes from green cuttings and they have all died :( HELPPP
Have you tried to start them by this method? Starting it water doesn't work because the grape cutting can't take standing in water. Their tissue needs more oxygen in the soil or medium you are using to start them. I'd adjust the medium you are using to start them in. You can also try using plastic with holes cut in it over the top of the bucket instead of a lid. That allows more light penetration. Some things that cause problems are too much moisture, direct sunlight and heat, and growing medium that doesn't drain good enough. It might take some adjustment to find the right combo for your grape cuttings.
thanks for this very informational video. No BS, just great info
very much appreciated
Welll at last a video that has some great advice. I am an English man livining in Azerbijan and grapes are grown in just about every garden. I managed too get several cutings too root 2 years ago and this year they produced thier first grapes. I have taken some green cutings and will try your method. Can i use another medium as coconut core is not available here
Yes you can use anything organic that drains water easily but holds moisture. I've used peat moss or even rotten punky wood broken up into a fine medium.
So excited to try this! Thanks a bunch!😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
l have a single red type that has fruit. l try this technique
Hola Amigo,💃I am growing 2 in pots here in Edmonton 🇨🇦I just transplanted them and wrapped them up in insulated material as our winter it's brutal 🙊😂🥶It has plenty of drainage and 🤞 I will learn how to prune them and get them long enough to cover the deck bins🌞🌞💪🙌Thanks for the video I got inspired to propagate them💋
💜 HELLO 💜💜 💙 💚💛 We love VINES VINEYARDS, WINE AND CHAMPAGNE 💬 ▶ good job◀ 🌈 GREETINGS FROM FRANCE 🌈☆✨☆⭐✨☆⭐☆
Thank you cause that was my first thought when I watched another video about pruning..
Instead of using commercial hormone treatment can one use to advantage willow cuttings or pulp made from young willow shoots in soil/rooting mix?
Yes, you can use willow pulp. I've never tried it.
That’s was indolbuteric acid is
Cloning tables for marijuana could be modified to do this.
I'm not sure what those look like, but yes, some kind of rooting table would work fine for starting green cuttings too.
My grape plant grows many vines but very few grapes (Thompson seedless) what am I doing wrong?
You might not be pruning them properly. Also you have to make sure that you are maximizing the amount of first year canes you leave on the plant. That is where the fruit come from. So when there is a new shoot, it will fruit the following year. Those are the only canes that fruit. Older vine sections won't fruit. Also maximize the amount of sun energy those first year canes get the year they are first growing so they can collect plenty of energy in their stems.
And you also can use raw honey as a rooting compound
you could only do this with American non vinifera cultivars due to the Phylloxera bug?
You can propagate any grapes this way, but vinifera are always grafted onto American rootstock because of phylloxera. You can use this method for French-American hybrids.
I have done exactly as you did with my 10 cuttings.lets hope for the best.❤😂
Good luck!
I know this video is a couple years old, but it's now August 2019. You said if I do it in June or July, will it still work in August??
Just had a friend offer me TONS OF VINES. Thank you.
It depends on how long your season is. If you live somewhere where you have warm weather until November then probably you could do it in August. You could always try.
I had a small mulberry stem break off the momma plant on Aug. 20th. Cut an angle on the bottom of the stem, dunked in rooting hormone and put in a pot of commercial potting mix under a plastic bag. Cut off the top of the limb so there were on 3 leaves on the twig. I also cut those leaves back to half length to decrease loss of moisture through the leaves. Put in in my window where the only sun hone on the pot to heat it but not on the leaves. Two weeks in the plant was sending up another main shoot and has rooted. Long point I'm making is it works for mulberry so grape vine would likely work as well. How things will go as it is put outside for the winter is a question mark. But hey... why not try?
@@billastell3753 That's great to hear. I hope it's a good mulberry cultivar. We actually can't seem to stop mulberries from growing everywhere here, but they are great trees for fruit and birdfood. I've cut mulberry branches for fenceposts and they will continue to sprout leaves and stems for weeks, but none have ever formed roots, which is good, though if you were wanting to create a living hedge it would be good if they rooted. Their wood is pretty rot resistant.
It is the ever bearing Illinois variety. We live quite far north so we are somewhat limited to varieties that are hardy here. First frost date is Sept 22- 30.
@@billastell3753 Then I would say wait until next season to get green cuttings going. they won't be well established with roots by the end of the season, which is the goal in doing green cuttings. You could take dormant cuttings in fall though and have rooted cuttings by early summer to plant out in a nursery bed.
Excellent video! Very informative. Great job of explaining what your doing and how to do it.i plant at home table grape jupiter
just a comment your vine look great one thing it looks you have side shoot 3-4 ft one school of though is cut those off about july theyndont produce any thing any way but the roots have to feed them instead of the grapes
I wanted to thank you for this video. I too, looked high & low on you tube for a video on this topic and you are right, there isn't much good informative material available.....until now! I subscribe and can't wait to start learning from your videos. I appreciate your wisdom and willingness to share....and so very eager to learn more from you! thanks!!
I'm glad it was useful to you, and thanks for subscribing and watching!
Good job I want to ask you one thing can you just berry the one branch from main stock into soil will it start a new stock so you can later on cut it and you get new grape plant
Yes, every cutting you take from the main vine will be a clone of that variety, and every cutting you take from those clones will be a clone of the main vine as well. And once any grape vine is established with a good root system, you can take cuttings from it to produce more.
Are all varieties rooted in the similar manner.....my favorite is the concord grape..
Yes all of them are rooted the same way, but not all root as easily as some. Concord is a really good old standby for juice. I like to make the juice less sweet than any you'd get at the store, so you taste more of the Concord flavor. In another video I make Concord soda. It's also better for you not to have so much sugar.
Good info. I am experimenting with growing trees as well as vines, wild bushes, and other fruit from seeds. I also want to try propagating plants from cuttings. I will use this information for a variety of plants. Thanks
I am tropical grapes ( indonesia)
Thanks for the video! Do you leave the bucket in the shade? Did you have to water them at all?
I would leave the bucket in indirect sunlight. It's good for it to get some sunlight. I've been experimenting with putting a plastic bag over the top with holes in it instead of the bucket lid, because it allows more light to get to the cuttings, but you really have to be careful about sunlight and heat then because it can become like a solar oven and overheat the cuttings. You might have to water if the growing medium becomes dry. The holes in the bucket should prevent too much wetness in the bucket.
I have a question about how hi to put my first wier on one year old grap vine this is my first time doing this help
It depends on the variety and how it needs to be trained. Single cordon wire is 6' high. That's what I do for most grapes in my vineyard.
I’m going to do this!
NICE BROTHER!! Looks good. Thanks for making the video.
Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for learning how to become a successful grape grower without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam at very last got excellent success with it.
Do you think it's possible to route dormant cuttings in an indoor grow room during the winter so you got to Head start in the spring
Yes, I think you could do that, but you should probably give them at least 3 months of cold temps first.
