Does anyone have any small grape vines that have been propagated and are available for sale?

Good to know. Thanks Mark! I will take a look when that time comes. If by chance I do find some for sale now, is it likely they will not survive/thrive due to the summer weather?Colin
Grape vines are normally sold late winter/early spring as dormant bare root. It is by far best to plant/transplant grapevines while they are dormant. You should find lots of grape vines for sale everywhere Jan-Feb.
Should survive but need to treat like a potted plant. Probably won't get much growth out of it this year. The problem is grapevines are putting their growth energy into fruit this time of year, not as much active growth. In just a few weeks they will start pulling their energy stores back into the root systems for the winter and loose leaves and go dormant. Not a good time to get a new grape vine.Good to know.

Do you know if there is a grape variety that can survive the heat here in low desert?Yep, our Muscadine grapes (3 diff types) are all ripening now. Soon frost then the leaves all start to drop like flies. I pull leaves all year long and feed to our Sully. My vines are now about 8 or 9 years old, came bare root from a company down South.
