Growing Grape Vine Cuttings – A How to Guide
In my opinion, grape vine cuttings are far easier to use than grape seeds. It is usually agreed upon that cuttings produce a plant more closely related to the mother then grape seeds will.
With grape seeds your risking a weak harvest, with a cutting you can look at the mother plant and decide the strength, color, or flavor you’d like to mimic.
Grape vine cuttings should be a little over 10 inches long, with a few buds. It is safe to assume that half of the cuttings won’t produce roots, so be sure to get a bunch.
Well-draining soil means that after rainfall you won’t find any standing water on the soil. Soil on an incline is usually well-draining.
Dig a trench in well-draining soil, where the they are under as much sunlight as possible. Grape vines do well with lots of sunlight. Line the bottom of the trench with just enough sand to help anchor the cuttings. Dip half of the cuttings in water, and then lay them about 5 inches apart in the trench, dipped side down.
I’ve heard dipping the cuttings in a rooting powder compound can help, but I haven’t tried it, just thought I’d mention.
Start packing in soil loosely around the cutting, so that only about an inch of them remains visible above the soil. Make sure their is a bud above the soil as well.
Water them as the sun is going down, or early in the morning. The grape vines are in a very fragile state. You wouldn’t want the water to evaporate or cause the cuttings damage under the sunlight.
After about a year they should be ready to move, you can now plant them into their permanent positions. Sometimes our grape vines don’t turn out right, whether or not it is a fault of our own.
Sometimes the fruit comes in poorly, and it seems like the grape vine you worked so patiently with will never give a good harvest. I feel like their had to be some way to make sure this couldn’t happen to me.

what types of birds normally found near the grape vines?
I just wanted to know what kind of birds either as grapes or build nests near them. What types of grapes usually hang around in the vineyards or vines? cardinals often found near the grapes?
Birds I've noticed about mine mock birds, Brown Thrashers (built a nest in them this year), Tiles, House Wrens and Cardinals. None of them seemed disturb the grapes until they began to mature, then the Blue Jays and Mockingbirds took a lot of them. The mockingbirds also stole my pepper plants (a flight bird) as soon as he turned red peppers. Now I have peppers growing in my garden. Good luck and have fun!
