Have White grape vines

16 years ago

I have white grape vine cuttings.

These have been on the farm for more than fifty years. They produce large, sweet white grapes that are not fussy, do not seem to be affected by diseases or pests. A few years ago, they went wild and just covered a barn with beautiful grapes that were much trouble to harvest! So you know they are great vines!

To root: Scrape the area around a node a little with a knife. Dip in water, then rooting hormone. Poke a hole with a pencil into the sterilized moist soil of a pot. Put the cutting in the hole. Cover with a bag. Check every few weeks to water if there is no condensation on the bag. Water from the bottom.

I'm looking for the following: raspberries, strawberries, Kiwi vines, cold-hardy fig cuttings.

If you are going to take the trees out right away, you can cut those grapes down and they will survive. I wouldn't take them to the ground. If you leave a couple of feet of vine, that short a bit will be pretty easy to untangle. If you aren't taking the trees down right away, leave the vines and see what they produce. Whether or not you like the grapes is going to make a difference in how you treat the vines. It sounds to me like the first step is to get the ivy under control. The trees might possibly be something to save. You won't know until you get them unburied and determine what they are and give them some pruning and care. Who knows, maybe those are fruit trees. I wouldn't automatically assume that grapes in a once cultivated garden gone out of control would be wild grapes. They could very easily have been deliberately planted back in the days when the garden was tended. I bought a place that had been abandoned for 6 years. The surviving plants were in bad shape, but I babied them just to see what I had. They looked like garbage, but some time in the past, someone was a pretty good gardener and most of the plants turned out to be excellent. It took some serious work to bring them back, but it was worth it. 2 completely "dead" bushes turned out to be gorgeous hardy hibiscus that have flowers for 6 months solid. 3 "dead" fruit trees are bearing fruit for me. An unidentifiable tangled mess of dead twigs is now a sweet-smelling honeysuckle. Clean up first, then stand back and take stock.

Have Grape Vines Cuttings for Trade
Q

I'm not a candidate for trades because we already have a vineyard (wine grapes) and don't have any of those fruits you want. It sounds like your vines are going to bring a good harvest. If they are seedless, they can be frozen and used as ice cubes to chill wine and also eaten fresh. Wine grapes are very sweet when ripe. They make sweet juices and jams and jellies. Because they are so sweet, the sugar in them feeds the yeast and becomes alcohol. Seedless grapes are not sweet enough to make wine usually. If you are crafty, you can cut the vigorous vines when they are green and flexible, and make some wreaths with the long canes. Just be sure to leave enough buds for next years crop. Suzi I hope someone wants to trade with you.

Anyone have a Grape vine cutting I can have?

Steve, Just looked at your profile and would like to stop by sometime to see how your grapes are setup and maybe grab a cutting. If nothing else, you being a fisherman, we can always BS about some fishing. Normally, by this time of year, I've been out fishing a bunch of times but I haven't had a chance to make it out once. A friend of mine called me yesterday and asked me to go down to Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel this weekend, and I can't. This yard/garden thing is crimping my main hobby, but I figure I have to get things done around the house this year.

Hi gardenfreak (love the name!) and retsec.

I haven't received your emails via gardenweb (think there are problems with that these days, so I sent retsec an email directly. If you click on my name gardenfreak and copy my email into your email that you send it might work that way.

Hope to hear from you!

Oh, and I should have said that the grapes are easy to harvest, but not if you are climbing onto a barn to get to them because it's so healthy!:)

Are these seeded or seedless?
I have an everbearing (red) raspberry and unnamed June-bearing strawberries...I prefer seedless grapes.

Sorry, these are not seedless. They are heirloom and therefore tastier than seedless IMHO.

Hello! I have been searching for some great white grape vines. I cannot currently trade for seeds, but do have a wide selection of handmade organic soaps, lotions, salves & balms, lip balms, and all-natural soy candles to trade. Please let me know if you'd be interested and how to proceed from here. Thanks so much!

chrmann: You can never have too many figs! I'd be just terrifically happy if ONE fig cutting rooted from those I traded for.

I have TONS of white grapes--which tells you how prolific these are--so just tell my how many figs you want to part with and I'll send you two-three for each one of yours. Any idea what kind of fig you have?

Happy Gardening, MTM

PS. I read your sending instructions and that is exactly how I do it too.

PPS I've sent this in an email too.
