Alicia C.
my granny used to propagate shrubs by burying a strong limb with a few branches... its best to start in the early spring before the new growth appears.... then when the roots appear, you cut it away from the host. Some gardners use another method that is similar by cutting a wedge from the limb and placing a bag of dirt around the cut in order to get the roots to form.

| On muscadine or hybrid grapes you can just loosen the dirt, pull a cane over it and put a rock on the cane. Its important to appy water during dry periods and then it will root over the Summer. In the Fall or next Spring when the roots have formed, cut the umbilical cord to the main plant, dig it up and transplant to the permanent location. This is a good way to duplicate the many plants that won't root from hardwood cuttings.

Hey... whatever works! Granny used to keep pretty pebbles to put in the top of her house plants too... that woman could grow ANYTHING!

It's pretty long, so I can plant 3 different kinds of grapes on it. I already have one and now you have me thinking about the other 2. Thanks for the tip.. never thought about rooting grape vines!

Skiddies,
I've got a few plants of locally bred moderately disease resistent seedless grapes if you'd like to try them. I'll give them to you.
