Hello, I am interested in your rooted grape cuttings. I do not have any goosenberry cuttings but do have some blackberries and some wild grape vines if that might interest you. Please let me know if you want to trade. Thanks, Carol

Oooohhh I would love some of these!!! I have been making homemade wine for years, and would love to try a new grape! I don't have a lot to trade right now... maybe a bottle or two of my Mississippi blue berry wine, lol??

Thanks for the help Dan. One other question, I need help with. Since in the past I have seem a lot of propagating failure at the point just after I have managed to get my cuttings to root. So since my Mahonia cuttings will need to be cut this fall from this years growing season's hardened off wood, and since they will have been so difficut to root; could anyone please advise me on how to mix up the potting soil I will need to prepare for planting any of the cuttings that sprout? Also, if the answer to that is a soil-less mixture like periolite or something else similar, How will I know when they will needed to be transplanted into regular potting soil? Or would it be better not to transplant them into potting soil, but instead to simply plant them outside in a southern facing landscape bed?

Okay, well, I placed the cuttings in pots in soil in a shady spot and watered with B-1 and Superthrive every other day. Some of the cuttings I dipped in rooting hormone and others I did not. This week some of my cuttings have started to leaf out! Yay! So I have more questions: 1. Do they need any sort of fertilizer? 2. When can I move them into the sunlight? 3. Should I plant them in the ground or overwinter them in their pots? 4. It is getting close to the time of year when grapes will start to go dormant. There is not very much time for a lot of new growth before winter (such as it is in Southern California). I am not sure if grapes lose their leaves because of the lack of light or because of cold, but what can I do to help these cuttings survive their first winter? If I had taken the cutting in May I wouldn't be wondering, but it is odd to have new growth now in mid-September. Will they go dormant and then leaf out in spring or should I treat them in a special way (heating pad, greenhouse, etc.)?
