Default Seedless Grape Propagation

Someone toold me that planting them too close will produce very small soft
seed things in the seedless grapes.

That's good information to know Dwayne, since I have a seeded vine
within 200 feet of my seedless vines.

Still would like to know if the seedless cuttings will produce
seedless grapes. Is cuttings the method of choice for seedless grape
propagation?


Your seedless cuttings will grow up to produce seedless grapes, just
like the mother plant that the cuttings came from. Sometimes grapes are
grafted to a better root variety. This is done only when there is a
specific problem with growing a grape in its own roots. Most propagation
is with cuttings as you have done.

As far as the 200 ft rule, I've never heard of that before. I know that
if seedless cucumbers are pollinated by a seedy variety of cucumber, the
seedless one will have seeds too. I didn't think it worked that way with
grapes but I suppose it's possible.
