You can propagate grape vines from cuttings in 2 ways – here is a simple step-by-step guide to getting new plants for free

Bunches of black grapes growing on vines in the sunshine.

Homegrown grape vines make stunning additions to a yard and can supply you with fruits for wine, juice, jams, or eating fresh from the vine. If you want more of them, you can propagate grape vines by taking cuttings or layering plants to get new grapes for free.

Grape vines are most commonly propagated by taking hardwood cuttings during dormancy. This reliable method gives you lots of new vines, but there is scope for softwood cuttings in the summer, too. Layering offers a potentially slower route, but it is still successful, while growing grapes from seed offers no guaranteed results.
