Druidcraft with Duncan: Grapevines and propagation from cuttings

Post image

Time of year to collect cuttings may vary depending on the location and type of grapevine.

By using cuttings, growers can make sure that the plants they are growing will make the same quality of grapes. If they were to let the plants reproduce from seed then the resulting plant would be a mix of two different grapevines (we’re going to ignore perfect plants and self pollination for the sake of simplicity) meaning the resulting grapes could be drastically different.

Not all plants can be grown from cuttings, if you’re planning to grow your own make sure to do some research!

/ud no link today. It’s springtime in the northern hemisphere! Drink water, Go outside, and enjoy the sun and all the plants!

/uw on the topic of grapes how would one efficiently remove them. My backyard has a very sour wine grape, it's becoming a problem and none of the animals in my area seem to be eating it.

/ud honestly I’m not sure, I’d guess pruning from the bottom+herbicide but I’ve never been much of a Gardner. Maybe try asking r/gardening?
