Grape vine .... a loss of time?

[BrierPatch]

I was given a Vitis Vinifera that came from a local vineyard last fall. Looks really cool but wasn't sure if it was even viable as a bonsai. Was just going to use it as yard art.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The band I preferred when I was in my early-late teens. (I can play it on the guitar, the "$*ù^" way, but when I get high, I... Uh... Must go and spray my shrooms now

I actually consider vitis much like Rosa.. in bonsai terms.. not anything distinctly similar.. just.. both not responding to traditional techniques.. and requiring wholly unique approaches.

This one isn't bad either, I danced to it when I was young

Grape vines do root relatively easily, grafted vines can be air layered above their grafts if the logistics are possible. Not always practical, but occasionally can be done.

cuttings can be rooted, cycles of growing out and cutting back can develop significant trunks in as little as 10 years in warmer climates.
