Cultivation and Propagation

Vitis arizonica is a vigorous, deciduous vine native to the Mediterranean region. It can be propagated from stem cuttings or by layering. Stem cuttings should be taken from mature stems and placed in a moist, well-draining soil. Layering involves burying a portion of a stem in the soil and allowing it to root before cutting it from the parent plant. Once rooted, the stem can be potted up and grown as a new plant.
