Making a grapevine cutting with Jaison Kerr of Kerr Farm Wine.wmv

[koertje]

Thanks , so interesting. I am living in France now and I am collecting varieties grapes.

32 varieties now, mostly on a rootstock, but today I did a few on the method you showed.

So I want to ask you something about doing it direct on the place where you finally want them to grow, As I am told that trees grow the best if they stay on the place were they were seeded, because the first roots go deeper.

Do you think that also goes for grapes?

This is a very good informative video and I had some questions and send it to Jaison and received reply within 12 hours with a detail information .

Thanks Jaison

I picked up some pointers. Laying the cutting with the bottom end down sometimes gets mixed up and the slanted cut at the top makes it so easy. I also cut my scions with only two buds - I reasoned one below the soil and one above. I imagine I'll have more success now after your video. We don't graft grapes much in Washington for the home gardener or the commercial vineyards as there are only a few small areas of pylox. They do graft whole vineyards over for a change to the trendy grape.

Jason,

Do you ever use rooting hormone to help root the cuttings, or is that not necessary with grapes?

[jaisonk1]

Yes it is possible to graft grapevines, in fact most wine grapevines are grafted onto Phylloxera resistant rootstock. The graft can be a simple V graft to a omega graft which uses a machine to cut the joint. This job is done during winter dormancy Not sure what you mean by does the wood slip in spring? Re ask the question. I also have a video on grapevine pruning.

Is it even possible to graft grapes? I guess that's what I'm really asking. Does the wood slip in spring like other plants?

[marginallymental]

Greetings from a wife of a fellow fruit grower (cherry, pear and apple )in the US! I stupidly threw a Concord grape in a ratty part of my yard two years ago, and it's taken off like a wildfire. Can I transplant it? Also, we have access to a family Thompson Seedless plant--can I graft it to an old rootstock? You'd be surprised how little info I can find on table grape growing! PS: I made wine accidentally from cherries once...canning gone bad....smooth, snappy and delicious! Thank you.

[jaisonk1]

@marginallymental Yes you can transplant it. Best done in the winter during dormancy.Trim the vine back to two or three canes with 4 or so buds on each. It is good if you can wrench the vine, that is cut the roots with a spade on two of four sides leave for a couple of weeks then spade wrench the other two sides. This makes it not such a shock for the plant. Then plant it were you want it in the early spring and off it will go

[jaisonk1]

@marginallymental Grafting the Thompson seedless on to old rootstock, I would say yes, but difficult, because of the difference in plant size if the roostock is a big old plant. Maybe you could take a cutting from the rootstock and grow it on for a year to get some roots then graft it to the Thompson scion of the same size.

Very helpful Video - with so many fruitcakes online it is so nice to find someone who is keen to share a passion and not aggrandize himself.

Thanks Jaison for taking the time to help us all.

[mommadre04]

Great video , very simple yet detailed and thank you so much for responding to my email about my vine :)

[knightone57]

Jaison, Thank you for taking time to film and post this vid clip! We have our second season variety of grapevines coming back strong in our little garden. We'll be taking a couple of cuttings and see how they do.

[marcelmindy]

Great video and very helpful guy! Thanks Jaison for the advice on the phone last week!

[riselli2007]

Now I know how to do it. Thanks mate

[zobcity01]

I read a while ago about something called callousing the botton part that was cut. Do you ever find in your experiences a need to do this ?

Or just a basic cut and pot the stem seem to be just as effective for next years plants.

Thx.

[jaisonk1]

@zobcity01 I think callousing is usually done by a commercial nursery to speed up the joining of a grafted vine at the graft. If callousing the the cut I think this will inhibit root growth. Hope this helps Jaison

[zobcity01]

@jaisonk1 I will just do the basic way you show of cut & pot. It worked well so far.

Thx

[jaisonk1]

We do not have an outlet in Canada. Yes it takes about a year to make a rooted plant. The plant needs a couple more years before you get any significant amount of fruit. Cheers Jaison

[CFL35]

Good video. Going to see if I can get a bottle here in Canada. So basically it takes 1 year to make a new plant then?

[CFL35]

@CFL35 Guess I cant thanks for the video tho.

[9razores]

is doing this with figs similar to grapes?

[9razores]

very helpful...thank you very much for your help...awesome!

[jamills77]

what time off year did you cut this , fall or early spring

[jaisonk1]

@jamills77 Late winter

[jaisonk1]

Thanks for your comments. Had you thought about holding off planting until after winter. Keep the vine in the pot over the really cold period, inside away from freezing. Plant it out when the soil warms up in the spring. It will then have all summer to get established and will be a bit better set up for the following winter. In Japan they grow vines in the snow. During the winter you could cover the vine with straw or hay. Freezing will damage the plant cells. Regards Jaison

Im in Scotland uk, just got a Sauvignon vine ( White) Its 1200 high, im going to plant it in October and with you tips i feel alot more sure about pruning. I need to frost protect the rootball with mulch or compost but if it makes the winter i will be happy.

thanks for the tips.

Why did that dog walk off in a prone position with it's tail between it's legs?

[jaisonk1]

@zipperhead5 Francesca is an Italian Greyhound and that is the way they walk when they spot something of interest to investigate. If you go to 4.28 she is in the bush behind me. It was probably a bird.
