• 1. Trim roots back to about 4” in length. 2. Soak plants in 6” of water standing upright for about 2-4 hours before planting. 3. Dig a hole with shovel 14” to 16” deep and wider than the roots when they are spread out. 4. Place the vine in the hole. Backfill the hole with original soil free of herbicide residue, large clods, or rocks. 5. Tap down the soil gently as you proceed, while keeping the plant straight and upright. 6. When the hole is ¾ filled, raise the vine to about 4” above the soil line. 7. Continue filling the hole until you are flush with the soil line. Gently tamp down the soil 8. You should mound the vine. – Loose soil (Herbicide free) must be placed over the vine. This mound should extend about 1” above the tip of the plant so that none of the plant is showing. This is essential since the soil protects the buds from temperature extremes as the vine comes out of the dormancy. 9. Notice the wax on the top of the vine, this is normal and should not be removed. The plant will break through when the shoots begin to bud in a few weeks. 10. When growth appears, remove the soil mound from around the vine so that the graft union is well above the soil. ** Do not over irrigate. More damage and delayed growth has come from over-irrigation than from under-irrigation. For optimal growing conditions, soil should be moist and never saturated.
