Hi, I have grape vine cuttings to store for the winter and am wondering if vacuum packing moist cuttings and then keeping them cool would be suitable? I do understand that moist and cool is important, and am thinking that vacuum packing would remove the risk of mold....the question is would an airless environment hurt the dormant cutting? If anyone has an opinion or feedback that would be appreciated. Have a great holiday season! Thanks, Mel
You can store them in the fridge i don't think vacuum packing is necessary. I store them in plastic in the fridge over the winter. Just make sure you keep the cuttings moist. http://www.bunchgrapes.com/cutting_information.html From my friend Lon Rombough's website. Hope this helps Kim
I don't think that plastic bags would be a good idea unless you're making sure that they get ventilated. What about a temporary greenhouse solution or something? Build a small glass structure over them?
