Cuttings sales has ended for the 2006-2007 dormant season! Stop back in the Fall.
The vineyard is home to small numbers of many grape varieties (~235 as of 5/07). Below is a list of what is currently available for sale as cuttings.

Type: 12-16" cuttings of 1-year wood with 3 or more buds per cutting
Amount: 50 cents per cutting
Orientation cuts: square cut end is the rooting end, angled cut end is up
Date Taken: as ordered
Treatment: Cuttings are taken and immediately placed with their rooting end in cold water. Storage is in water at 32F until shipping time.
Disease/Insect Information: While the parent vines of these cuttings show excellent vigor and fungus and insect effects typical for Virginia during the growing season, no guarantee of the disease- or insect-free nature of these cuttings can be made. If you are concerned about importing diseases or insects into an existing vineyard then you should consider purchasing your stock from a certified disease- and insect-free producer. I use standard insecticides and fungicides following recommended schedules.
Shipping Condition: Cuttings are wrapped in moist newspaper then sealed in a plastic bag for shipping. The cuttings should be stored as-shipped in your refrigerator until it is time to root them.
Rooting instructions: You can stick them with the square end into moist soil 1/2-2/3 their length in March and a majority should root. More complex instructions can be found online.
