Does anyone out there grow Chambourcin? vines.
I would really like to try growing this vine. If you could send me cuttings this winter after pruning I would be glad to paypal you reasonable postage (to Vancouver BC Canada.) Cheers. |

Those inclined to assist will forget your request long before pruning. Greg G. |

Do you have sufficient growing degree days in Vancouver to ripen Chambourcin? In my experience, it makes a really crappy wine unless it has time to really ripen fully. I think if I were you, I would think about certified virus free nursery stock. There also may be some restrictions about sending plants across the border without being inspected but I am far from an expert on this. |

You could contact this commercial winery in Ontario that sells Chambourcin cuttings to see if they will ship to BC: http://www.villanovaestatewinery.ca/page3.htm Good luck. Chris. |
