I have 8 ready-to-plant grape vine cuttings. Variety is Cayuga White.

Got a bunch of whole vines to take cuttings from. Yield of usable cuttings is pretty low, but the Cayuga vines I got produced more than I expected.

So, if anyone in the area wants to grow some wine grapes (I'm not aware of Cayuga being used for anything other than wine), drop me an email.

Grapes grow most reliably in the “seacoast” region of NH. Northwood is about as far north-west as they will grow reliably. Of course, “reliably” means for commercial production - if you don't mind losing a crop one year in five, I suppose you can grow them a good bit further from the “ideal” climate.

Grapes are actually a desert plant, so full sun and good drainage are a must. Planting season is now or in the very near future. The cuttings will be happy in a dark place until then (grapes vines were transported to America wrapped in burlap in the holds of sailing ships, back in the day).

The cuttings are from a local winery (Flag Hill), so these are definitely quality grapes.
