[IBC] Grape tree
A neighbor of mine is about to do some work on his house and because he knows of my interests with plants and trees he asked me if I wanted to dig up two very old and large grape "trees". (vines, whatever). He is going to tear them up if I dont come get th
em. So I am asking for any advice on collecting these. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Help? e-mail +++++ Don't let this opppertunity go by. I will dig up this coming winter a number of 20+ year old grapevines that have knarled and open trunks. Can't wait. The best time is during complete dormancy of the vine this is normally during the winter period. If possible it is a good idea to cut the vine in the late summer, early autum as the second root growth flush will develop some smaller hair roots. By cutting the roots, I mean to use a sharp flat spade and dig around the vine, just cutting the roots. Leave it in place until winter time and then dig it up. You will find some nice fibrous roots that you will need to plant in a training box. Large roots can be easily cut back without any problems. Cut the top back to where ever you think is correct and apply pruning paste to the wounds. The following spring you will be able to start training new shoots. Grape vines are weeds and will tolerate some abuse.

I did it in South Italy, On a sandy ground without tools. Just a spoon. It
took a little bit of time :) and I didn't get a lot of roots. I wrapped two of these plants in a wet towel and brought them home. I planted them in a big pot with humus and lava and covered everything with with a transparent plastic bag. I left it for more than a month until I decided the new buds were growing healthy and strong. They are quite tough plants and it should be easy to transplant them. Keep the interest of the bonsai on the trunk as the buds grow quite strong and fast and you will need hard pruning. Let me know Enrico, Italy Użytkownik "Mart Verstappen" napisał w wiadomości OM...

I was once given an eight foot piece of a Grape vine. I cut it into one
four foot length and planted it in the ground outside of my Green house. It rooted in one year and it is now over 15 feet long. I have had grapes for the last three seasons. The other four foot lengths I planted in cascade pots in sand and they both rooted. I never did get grapes from them, but they were fun to play with.... until some one wanted to buy them. ;-) Carl L.
