I have a grape vince that has a couple of canes that had laid on the ground and taken root before I got them up on a trellis. I didn't uproot them. It's been a couple of years now.
Should I let them remain connected to the original root stock or sever the connection? The grape yield has been fine enough to please me the way it is, but I wonder what you all think about leaving it or cutting it off.
Barry,
I purposely allow mine to root. Once they touch the ground I cover them with a light soil. Middle of next winter I cut them from the main vine and move them.
I would cut it. I think it is still drawing energy from the main plant.
