Not actually edible - but drinkable

My sister has 2 well established vines .... red wine grapes .... been unable to identify what they are.
Been told most likely Black Hamburgh - but can't be sure.


The Q is my sister wants rid of these ... she cuts them well back each year.
Currently planted in her unheated and pretty draughty greenhouse .......

I want to plant outdoor vines ... can vines be moved ... if so when and how ?

We tried one last year in dormant period - moving it to a large container of ideal mix growing medium - it died.

 

Take cuttings, notoriously easy to propagate that way

 

never done this ... how ? when ?

 

Don't they need grafting onto a different rootstock?

 

I agree on cuttings, established plants rarely move well.

I think if growing commercially its normal to graft, to stop root problems, but one or two plants in a garden should be OK

 

Not scientific I know but bury your "prunings" in soil and you'll have more new plants a few months later than you can handle :(

 

sorry to ask same Q again ... but when should this be done .... it's not my vines, and my sister just wants shot of them ...

 

You can take hardwood cuttings in winter, sections of stem with a couple of buds pushed well down into a deep pot in a cold frame.
Take them anytime after leaf fall, they wont root though until early summer next year, and can be left to grow for the summer, or very carefully potted on separately.
