I missed the time in the season for this. Is it before or after the fruit was harvested. In other words, how much time is needed for the plant to grow enough roots in the bottle before you snip the shoot off? "Heel that in for the winter and put it in a protective place". I assume he means put it in a pot and let it stay in a green house maybe? This sounds like it could work, but I sure wish the video would take everything from start to finish so I can know I'm not messing up somewhere.
@martiwf0 The bottle is placed on the shoot during July (mid summer) and the rooted vine removed in late November. I then heel the vine in the ground next to a post where it will be easy to locate in the spring when the cutting begins to green up.
Still a bit unclear about the meaning of the word heel. I assume you mean in November I am to cut the shoot flush with the bottom of the bottle, remove the bottle and expose the rooted contents, and bury the contents in the spot in my vineyard by a pole where I want the cutting to permanently grow? Meaning, I won't have to dig it back up and mess with again, except for typical pruning and training, after November? I just did the first step to about 50 shoots in my vineyard. Am I too early?
@abby6211 Also, you didn't mention in your video about adding water to the soil in the bottle while the roots form. Would you add water about as often as you would water the vine or depending on the rain? Sure would be nice if you did a continuation video taking the cutting from November until it hits its final resting place in the Spring. This is by far the best way to propagate if it really works. Nothing else has been successful for me in the past.
jeez buddy! why take all the time to tell us where your at when the1st of this vid
says it all clearly? And you think you came up with the name Air Layering. IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR YRS. And to tell us why we might want to take a clone. For Christ sake, just get to it will ya And why wouldn't you pull off the leaves before you put on the bottle. Then you just pull the bottle up to that spot. Is this guy for real? He talks like he's a moron and now he wants to show that he is.
i recently did this and it works. thanks for showing me a super easy way to clone muscadines....
