When to move grape vines

13 years ago

I have 2 vines that are 2 yrs old and need to be moved to a new location. Can someone please tell me when the best time to do this is? I am getting conflicting info on the web...Should I wait for spring, should I do it now, will the frost dates have any play in this? Thanks in advance!

In N. VA, I moved my vines at about March 30 three years ago and they did fine. I suggest moving them after the danger of a hard freeze is past and before they start to leaf out. You could move them after they start to leaf but I believe it is harder on the plants.
