Please Help.
Today I bought a 'Red Alert' seedless grapevine. It is (well was) about two foot tall. It had about a foot of spindly growth coming out from the graft.
Whilst trying to plant it with the roots outside my greenhouse and feed the stem through a hole under the base of the greenhouse I managed to snap the stem off, right down at the graft.
All I'm left with is the bare grafted main stalk which is about the thickness of my thumb attached to the rootstock, gone is the stalk along with all its little buds.
I'm desperate to find out if the damage inflicted is terminal or whether the vine might recover.
I feel so gutted because the vine I planted in my greenhouse last spring never grew, it just died. I think I'm jinxed...maybe I'm destined to eat TESCO grapes forever.
If anyone can offer any advice or help I would be very grateful.
