I have a chance to get cuttings/plants from an abandoned muscadine/scuppernong vineyard. It has been abandoned for possibly 10 years or more, and is all grown
over with trees and brambles. The people who owned and worked it are
gone now, and half of the vineyard has been plowed under, and is now in
soybeans. What a waste. Anyway, what is the best way for me to get cuttings/dig up plants/ or whatever?
If you can find rooted plants now, this would be the time to pull them.
Keep the roots moist from digging until planting. You might find vines
growing along the ground that are rooted in two or three places. Cutting
behind each set of roots is fine. Vines are usually propagated by
layering, so if you find vines on the ground that have rooted, you've
simply found vines that have layered themselves and done that part of
the job for you.
