Common Grapevine
Today i was doing some yard work and dug up a 3 inch high bit of grapevine growing out of an old tree stump. It's knarled and fairly thick and makes a very nice accent. I don't plan on doing any more work on it right now, but for future refence, does grapevine bud back easily?
Thanks, Tom |

Try this web site, I believe it is Don Ziemann's. who raises a lot of Grape Bonsai and is, what I call an expert in that field.
Hopefully he will have an Email address. I lost his address when my computer crashed.... http://www.bonsainl.nl/BPG/BS_BPBTE.HTM

Cut it back hard in the winter and you'll have lots of new growth. I've seen 6-inch diameter grape stumps come back to life. This grape was dug up in November, cut into about 8-inch tall stumps (just the trunk, no roots), and by June it was full of life.
Good luck.

Thanks Tom |

Several years ago, Don Ziermann sent me three hunks of grapevine wood. They had not a stitch of roots. I placed them in cascade pots with coarse sand and watered them every day. In about a month I had a plethora of roots and they lasted for several years... I just was never able to grow any grapes.... I
transplanted them into bonsai soil and they lasted for several more years, but I assume that our New Jersey weather was just not the same as the California weather from whence they came. I lost them all abouth the third or fourth year.

Regular bonsai soil will be fine. I haven't got mine to bear fruit yet either. I was advised to give it full sun and cut back to previous year's growth to get it to fruit.
Good luck.
