Chardonnay Grape

I received the vine - one star.

Planted vine in pot in conditions as suggested, well-drained, slightly acidic, with good moisture retention. Placed in a semi-shady location in my yard.

No sprouts from vine stems, brown to the scratch method.

Very disappointed in grapevine ...it was advertised as a 2-tear grown sticky vine, but came as 1 year old vine, with first growth from graft of last summer - ALSO - the roots were trimmed off to about 5-6" .... I've grown grapes for 20 years, even developed a couple of vineyards ... This year I got a few vines from VINEYARD SUPPLIERS (Double AA in NY State) that were 1/2 the price at $12 per vine ABD were actually 2 YEARS OF GROWTH as graft site was well developed with very stocky growth from the graft point Good vines need all the roots they have, as this induces fast & stocky growth - roots were NOT trimmed off in these good vibes. ..RAIN TREE obviously does not know their grapes, as per their new management .... (I've been a customer for over 25 ,years getting dozens of fruit trees, gooseberries, currents, etc from them with always GREAT STOCK and GREAT SERVICE ...BUT this grape shipment was a disaster, will never again get grapes from here, unless RAINTREE can provide a "good explanation" and a *good adjustment " for this experience ...
