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.

You'd have better luck making such a request mid-winter. Those
inclined to assist will forget your request long before pruning.

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:

Good luck.
