So, how to kill it. In the olden days, 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) mixed in fuel oil was recommended by the Forestry service to clear grapevine from tree stands. That's how hardy this stuff is, that you'd need to use the banned highly-toxic half of Agent Orange mixed with diesel fuel to have the best success.
So basically, yes. A grapevine will grow as high as any support you can provide. Here are some good things to note: Grape vines are very heavy, and the taller the support, the more reinforced it must be. I've seen grape vines take down some very strong looking supports. A horizontal support is better than a vertical one, for a few reasons.
Possible related information includes that there were little beetles on the grapevine last year (though we have not seen any—yet—this year, and there was no white goo last year). Also, the weather has been pretty cold here and only just warmed up today (May 1), and has cycled between high and low temperatures several times in the past few ...
Let me add what I would do, since I have a couple of vines at home: At first, just choose some strong "main" branches of the grape vine that are healthy, and prune everything else down to 2 or three buds.
You seem to be implying that the stump is still producing growth rather than your just wanting to get the stump out of the ground. As 'stump' usually refers to a woody trunk of varying width, the way to kill it off for good is to buy a tree stump killer - in the UK, that would be something like SBK, described as a brushwood and tree stump killer.
In "The Organic Gardener's Handbook of Natural Disease and Pest Control", p. 265 talks about Flea Beetles. The adults chew holes in the leaves, the larvae feed on the roots.
Cut the vines you don't want. I had a 10 X 10 ft roof lattice in front of a door with a Concord type grape. After a couple years with pruning for fruit, it made a jungle and went a distance onto the ro
18 ft long, 13 feet wide and 8 ft in height. And I honestly don't know as to how long they've been there. They were planted by the previous owner and the new owner isn't all that sure as how old they are either but like I said, they are established vines with trunks taller then myself able to produce fruit except for a few that arnt doing too well because a newly constructed house has blocked ...
I have three young grapevine cuttings about the size of a 30cm ruler (above ground). They rooted last spring (Australian spring), which was three months ago or so, and had a few leaves growing. I ...
I am a total beginner at gardening, and am having a go at trying to grow a grapevine for fun :) I am looking for some advice before I prune it, because I don't want to do something damaging. The grapevine is a "boskoop glory" variety, and I planted it in early spring this year. It is maybe only a year or two old in total.
