I look forward to updates next May. Hope it'll prove to be successful.
Grapevines are tough and hard to eradicate. I wouldn't be surprised if new shoots grow back from the rootstock in the spot you took it out of. But the key is that you said you really didn't like the grapes that much. The transplant will grow for sure in that case!
My back started hurting just watching you try getting that thing out of the ground.
As somebody who has removed, or moved more than my fair share of hedges, large shrubs etc. It's hard to beat a good, strong 18-20lb digging bar.
I would be tempted to cut up those branches into hardwood cuttings and stick them in the ground to see if they grow too. Just for fun. Course, you end up with grapes all over the place in trees with this attitude you can't reach š
I have two hazelnuts to move and this didn't make me look forward to it. But sometimes these things need to be done.
A few years ago my Mum moved in late fall and the new owners did not want her grapevine. She pruned it almost down to nothing and dug it out. She also took a few cutting and put them all in dirt in her shed at her new home. Come spring she planted 2 cuttings and the dug up vine. They all took. That fall she gave me one of the other cutting (it was in her shed for nearly a year). I planted it and mine took as well. Iād say you have a fairly good chance of your grape surviving.
You got all winter to think about this grape vines! Worth the try in my mind!
"YOU FOUGHT SO IT COULD LIVE ANOTHER DAY."
I sympathize with you. It's always tough to move established plants. I'm envious that you are still able to play in your garden in November. I say play because being able to spend time in the garden is never work. If it's any consolation, the only gardening I'm able to do is to shovel snow and pile it on the garlic bed and perennial flower beds. Given how hard it was to pull out that grape plant, I'm curious how you deal with the apple tree.
When I move my roses, I put a big rock beside it to secure the roots so a big wind doesn't pull them up.
I pulled up a 50 year old asparagus patch today. I am reliving that struggle watching this video. "hopefully I haven't killed it" LOL!!
Grape vines are pretty hardy it should do fine.Thats one of the reasons I cant put grapes here we have a lot of deer.
