I received a nice collection of Muscadine cuttings to use for grafting to the wild Muscadine vines I have growing all over my place. Grapes are grafted the world over but I hear over and over Muscadinces can not be grafted. Well I have enough cuttings now to test that.

So the photo is a example of a storage practice that is used everywhere. These cuttings are exactly how I received them. Since all cuttings I have tried to store in a ziploc bag using a wet paper towel to keep the cuttings from drying out. My experience has been mold grows quickly when stored in that much humidity.

This photo has one variety of cuttings vacuum packed without extra moisture, seal in using just a little vacuum. This method retains the moisture without providing enough for mold growth.

Now that these are properly prepared for storage they can be placed in a refrigerator set to 40 degrees till needed for grafting about 30-45 days.
