Is it possible to grow a grape vine from seed?

I have not found the plants in nurseries in my area. Any suggestions on how to treat and plant the seeds?

Is it possible to grow a grape vine from seed?
To answer your question it is possible to grow a grapevine from seed. It is like crap shooting, however, you never what kind of grape you will wind up with. Grapevines like apple trees are mostly always started vegetatively by grafting or rooting cuttings from established varieties. Find a vineyard that will let you take cuttings or find a supplier that will sell you some plants. Using seeds will take you years and you may wind up with nothing.
Reply:yes you can, but not easily
Reply:no dont as it will not be what you want,best to take a cutting from a vine that has grapes,put it in peatmoss,water well and it will grow roots in about two months,then it will grow grapes in about three years ive grown many in my older years,have three hundred feet ofv ines with grapes
Reply:In the wild grape vines grow from seed.

Good fruiting vines are usually grafted or grown from cuttings
Reply:try going to tytyga.com

it is a great nursery in Georgia... good luck!
Reply:if grafting takes 3 to 4 years to start producing - how long do suppose it would take from a seed



remember each variety is going to produce different tonnage - Concords and Niagara in Erie Co 8 ton avg seen as high as 14 tons per acre --compare to Chardenay - at .4 ton avg.
Reply:yes you can but to get the type of grape you want you will have to graft it on the vine growing vines from seeds is very hard many seeds will not germinate or they will die after germination it will take many to produce one vine and again you will have to graft a cutting from the type of vine you want to produce the type of grape you want
Reply:better and easier to grow it from the root of a grape vine. you probably could grow it from the seed but inside the house in controlled climate in the window sill. good luck
Reply:No, it is impossible to simply grow a grape vine from seed. You must have a vine to start with. You need to graft grape vines to get anything good. Growing grapes takes a few years. You must read about grafting. You could try mail order. Get a nursery catolog. some catologs will have grape vines.
Reply:well sory but how else are they made???? lol. but yeh... i have no idea on tips haha goodluck!
