Wine Grape Cuttings - slightly off topic
Last year I bought 6 Regent grape plants from Raintree (see link below) Ouch! That, with two citrus, chewed up my entire years plant and seed budget. So, I thought that I would offer 6 cuttings to the first taker here. Since all I have are the six, I think the fairest way is that the first person who posts a way for me to get ahold of them can have them (that way everybody else here will know they are gone, and I will not have made anybody too dissapointed...).
A little back story. These wine grapes were bred in Germany, specifically for the German organic wine industry. They are a cross between European wine grapes and American grapes. However, in Europe only pure vitus vinifera (European) varietals can be made into and sold as wine, so the German Parliment passed a special act declaring Regent to be a pure vitus vinifera...

I have table grape cuttings that I can get to anyone. Thanks for reminding me David. I just pruned today before the juice gets flowing too heavily. These will all grow into grape plants, so if you want them, let me know:
1Concord purple seeded
2Campbell's early purple seeded 3 weeks before Concord
3A white seedless grape (Idon't know the variety)
4 Buffalo grape purple, seeded, "wilder" even than concord
Let me know if you want some.
I live in Portland. PLease don't email John in Beaverton. We are not the same guy.
