Bronze scuppernog grape cuttings

(1/3) > >>

D-Grower:
Bunches of available cuttings of bronze scuppernog grape. Not sure what the variety may have been but the original vines are from the property behind mine. They've been there an awful long time. There's two varieties growing on a gazebo like arbor on that neighbor's land. I rooted a piece from one of them a few years back for my own yard. Wish I could get a piece of the other variety. Met the original owner when we moved here but the land has been sold twice since then and I don't know the new owners and they aren't living there full time yet. The particular one I have is very productive and very sweet. Good sized grapes like many you might buy at a store. My vine has lots of growth to cut back. Can send good length cuttings at $1.50 each. Minimum of 8 cuttings at $12 plus applicable shipping. Small flat rate box or priority mail package if cheaper.

Thanks! DG

Pokeweed:
Hi Derek! I'd like to get 8. PM me with total. Thanks! D

D-Grower:
Plenty of cuttings still available. Get them before they wake up!

Have you had good success rooting this one from hard wood cuttings like bunch grapes? I found simple layering to be way more reliable for the muscadines that I have tried to propagate.

D-Grower:
Definitely layering is best and almost 100% successful. However I have rooted this one from regular cuttings. Not sure if it was a named variety but I suppose it is. Originally from my neighbors yard behind me. Rooted a few from his vines a few years back for my yard. Even without the normal maintenance it's still a good producer. The original owner no longer lives there or I'd ask if he knew what kind it was. The other variety he had over there is stellar but didn't have success rooting that one. Big grapes like ping pong ball sized and mostly still green when ripe. Down side is that at each flower it only holds a few grapes probably due to the large size each one gets. Vines aren't maintained though either so that may be a factor as well. If I can I'll try rooting them again but I don't know the new people so can't just jump in their yard and take cuttings. Maybe I'll meet them at some point again more than the once I talked to one of the guys over there very briefly at the back fence.

I may eventually release another large purple variety I collected from a large rock pile behind the place I used to work at. It may be a wild variety that just happens to have large good fruits but it's possible it ended up there at some point maybe when the rocks were dumped or whatever and rooted. Worthy of being a named variety and grows fully on its own without human intervention and is still highly productive too. Fortunately rooted a piece of that one before the original plant was destroyed when new owners took over the company and cleared the area back there. I'm gonna name it "Taunton" after the original owners of the business that used to own the land.
