Hi there! Growing grapes from cuttings is soooooo easy, and probably the best choice for your found vines if they are along in years and wildly untrained, as you said. Here is a great site that gives a brief but thorough description on cultivating grapes.

I like the 2 and 4 cane system, but you can train them to a trellis or an arbor, or let them ramble along a stone wall. (A good idea if you are zone 4 or colder) Best of luck! Let us know how you make out.

I use to grow muscadines when lived east TX.I did move with a rooting,but it didn't take,so i've done without my muscadine.I took a rooting from a corner that was overgrown& kinda the original starting point of my "mass of vines"I would say mine had grown from 60-100 ft.they went down a trellis that was 4x4 posts with framed 4x4 posts with some old cattle fenceing panals.
They don't tolerate frost well ceept the underneath ones from protection on the top& I believe are only reliab;ly hary to 10 degrees and will die out to ground at 0 temps.i aquired them after a winter with a ice strom.they were the sweetest best grapes.I'd go with some small root stock versus older type.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

I will gladly share my vines!
Search The Garden Helper:
Questions:
1.) Can I pull those vines out of the tree tops and/ or cut them so that I can train them to a more reachable spot?
2.) Can they be transplanted? If so, how?
3.) Can I take a piece of the mature vine and place it in water and will a new little guy grow? If, so where do I make the cut on the old vine? And do I need to use rooting hormones? And if so, how long before it is ready to be planted in the ground?
4.) Do I need to purchase male vines to pollinate these vines? If so how many?
5.) How can I determine which type I have?
Here is a link to some pictures of the vines
Any help would be greatly appreciated - Nikki
