    A friend of mine has gorgeous grape vines 15+ years old. Chardonnay and another type- I forget now. His place is being demolished for new townhouse subdivision.

    I want to take one of the grape vines. How would I go about doing that? That base is very thick and woody. Can I just get a chain saw, and stump it at about a foot and plant that? Please help. such a shame that they will just get ploughed into a land fill.

    Also he has fig trees. Any one know anything about transplanting figs?

    I also have a posting regarding large apple tree moving. Under the fruit tree section.

    Thank you !!

    PS. I live in Vancouver BC Canada, and these vines will be destroyed by the end of April!!! HELP!!!

    Browse thru this forum and read thru the posts on moving old vines. There's several threads and quite a lot of discussion - pros and cons of various methods.
