This place goes to get pruned grape cuttings in late winter or early spring. Then they grow the cuttings in greenhouse. They ship the rooted cuttings from May to mid June. This is much faster than the typical bare root plants, which are shipped in late fall, like November.

I ordered some grape vines from them due to the fact that I ordered late and the type of grape I want were sold out in many other places. And the Red Dog price is low.

Shipping was one week later than the last promised shipping date. The box was sent out on Wednesday. The package was sitting in local UPS shopping center over the two day weekend. The weather was hot in late June. When I received the vines, I was very disappointed.

The potted vines were in 2"x2"x3" bands. The top growth is about 3" long. The cuttings were short, all with short two nodes, one for roots and one for the top growth. The root system was very small. Its website says the bands are 2"x2"x6". And the top growth is from 6" to 14".

Due to plants' condition, I planted them in one gallon plastic pots with potting mix. But still only 25% of the vines made it. The rest just died.

I called the company several times and left voice mail. But no response. I sent email, no response. Now I have to get my credit card company involved and try to get my money back.

Do not bother with Red Dog Vineyards. This place is just a dog....
