Van Zyverden Premium Bareroot Grape Vine Sauvignon Blanc Set of 1 Plant White Full Sun Perennial Fruiting 1 lb

Is it really true - only wineries can grow grapes? Of course not! They can be grown by anyone and are one of the most widely produced fruits in the world. In fact, grape vines can be grown throughout most of the United States. They do require care but essentially are no harder to grow then any other plant in your garden. Turning the fruit into wine however is an art form and much has been written on the subject. Often the subject matter turns complex and involved, while you are just wanting to try your hand at it and have some fun while doing it. But best yet, often the vines themselves are as beautiful and ornamental as the fruit and wine is delicious. Sauvignon Blanc and our premium grafted 1 year old Bareroot grape vines ship while they are in a dormant state. They ship without leaves, flowers or fruit, while it is in its sleeping beauty stage. They ship grafted on good quality root stock, with a waxed bud. Plant this perennial in a location with full sun exposure.

• PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Trim roots back to about 4” in length. 2. Soak plants in 6” of water standing upright for about 2-4 hours before planting. 3. Dig a hole with shovel 14” to 16” deep and wider than the roots when they are spread out. 4. Place the vine in the hole. Backfill the hole with original soil free of herbicide residue, large clods, or rocks. 5. Tap down the soil gently as you proceed, while keeping the plant straight and upright. 6. When the hole is ¾ filled, raise the vine to about 4” above the soil line. 7. Continue filling the hole until you are flush with the soil line. Gently tamp down the soil 8. You should mound the vine. – Loose soil (Herbicide free) must be placed over the vine. This mound should extend about 1” above the tip of the plant so that none of the plant is showing. This is essential since the soil protects the buds from temperature extremes as the vine comes out of the dormancy. 9. Notice the wax on the top of the vine, this is normal and should not be removed. The plant will break through when the shoots begin to bud in a few weeks. 10. When growth appears, remove the soil mound from around the vine so that the graft union is well above the soil. ** Do not over irrigate. More damage and delayed growth has come from over-irrigation than from under-irrigation. For optimal growing conditions, soil should be moist and never saturated.
