White grape vine cuttings

[too many weeds]

Hiya all

Due to an apparent disbelief that I can make anything grow I took 5 cuttings from my mum’s grapevine. Surprisingly the little buggers are all rooting so I’m offering the 4 spare cuttings if anyone should like them.

Info:
I don’t know the name of the variety but the grapes are white and tart, very nice to eat right off the vine. The original vine was kept in an unheated greenhouse for the better part of 15 years and no pesticides etc have ever been used on either the original or the cuttings.

The cuttings are available to anyone that wants them (to pickup or if you tell me how to safely mail them and I will arrange that) but if anyone would like to trade for say a cutting from another kind of fruit (apricot etc) I would be grateful (just getting started!).

If you need any pics before let me know! (Some have leaves and roots others just roots)

Regards

Hiya all,

I’m in shock and awe about how quickly these have gone , but if anyone does still want a cutting I can always take some more next time I go down so give me a yell, I’m taking requests – within reason, I can’t decimate the vine, I’ll get shot :P

I have 3 left from the ones I took for the church fete if anyone missed out on the above. They are in 6-7 inch pots though, and quite tall, so would probably cost quite a bit in postage. The variety is Himrod, and they are small seedless outdoor grapes. The parent ones are just ripening now, sweet and juicy.
I usually take ripe cuttings when I prune the parent vine in the winter. These prunings could be sent out as sticks for people to try for themselves, at much less postage. They don't usually root much before May, I just stick them in old pots of compost and keep them moist. I had 100% success rate this year!
pm me if interested

Hiya Wheels

Is that to BarleySugar or myself?

If to me then OC I’ll grab you a cutting when I’m next there, as for trade, if you have any fruit or something that you would be willing to take a cutting of (baring apples - oh is allergic) then that would be amazing, if not then no stress.

too many weeds... if you could that would be great. The only fruit things I have is strawberry plants (which there are many of and I'd be very willing to send a few) and a thornless blackberry bush ... if I can find a point where it's routed a second time (which it does frequently) then I can send you one of them. Let me know if you're interested. I'll PM you with my address.

Many thanks

Me too please but to make it more complicated, I cannot prune until April by which time they are nearly in bud.
I am trying layering at present, it appears that there shoots coming up and there are also bunches of grapes on the ground.

Hiya there

Sorry for the late reply to the questions but embarrassingly I’ve only just seen them

In answer to how to take cuttings, I took mine from just below a bud to ensure they had ‘green growth’ (is that the right phrase?) and then stripped off the larger leaves, then simply stuck it in some potting soil in my greenhouse and left it to see what happens.
Sorry I can’t be more help than that, I think that my cuttings took was simply beginners luck (that and the vine simply won’t die, after abuse from us kids for 10 years I think it’s become a survival specialist lol)

Just a quick note to everyone who received a cutting to see how they’re doing? And also to let you know I have 2 more cuttings that have taken root if anyone wants to swap for fruit etc

Regard

TMW

I have come in to late on this thread, and Im sure that all the cuttings have now gone, but if by any chance there are any left, I would LOVE a cutting to try growing Grapes, they are my favorite, and would love to grow a big bushall, and then in future return the favour by sending out some cuttings. Would even try making some home made wine!!! Anyway, please, please, please, please, can someone send me a cutting of a grape vine, root! Let me know who I need to PM to send over my details, if possible!!

Thanks
Stu
