Oh, the success

Wow! What an interesting story!

But the water gives really good results

Liam, that is good to know especially off rooting season. That applies to me as I have a cottage and prime time to take cuttings, the place is closed, it's on an island. The ferry stops running. So this is good info that I can root a cutting when I can, not when ideal. My neighbor on the island has a few vines I would like to take cuttings off of.

The only problem is that the giver of the cuttings said it takes 5 years to produce from cuttings!

If they grow well I don't see why they shouldn't fruit in 3 years.

Oh, good

I plan to graft cuttings unto other vines, so they will fruit a lot sooner.

Huh, will this cutting fruit quicker like a graft? It's from a mature plant

Yes, but I have developed rootstocks from my dad's plant. They are mature, so adding the graft is like a new branch on a mature plant, it grows very quickly. You need an established plant to graft unto.

I rooted a few of my dad's plants a couple years ago. The variety is very quick growing, I just don't like the fruit. it makes an excellent rootstock. So the graft will become a new vine.

I propagated several hundred grape vines a few yeas ago. I put 20 cuttings in a 1 gal. container, planted the pots in my raised beds and left them alone until spring and 90% produced roots. I sold 150 at $3.00 per plant that may.

Wow!

Is there any tips on this?

No real special tips. I used Dip-N-Grow rooting hormone. You can find it on Ebay.

Well I meant for future, their sprouted

Just leave them in the 1 gal container until the end of May or so and then pot them up individually.

Ok, they have something interesting going on to, there putting little roots as well! Pictures later but the older one has sprouted 2 larger roots as well

Sorry there blurry, it was hard to focus

So here are my yearly ideas

1. Start to train for Cordon, possibly put it in permanant spot

2. Start picking out spurs for 8-14 spurs per branch

3. Enjoy fresh grapes
