: : I recently purchased a house with an old grape arbor
: : at the back of the property, in full sun.  The arbor
: : posts have rotted at ground level and were threaded with
: : heavy wire cabel, which is quite rusted now, to support
: : the vines.  The off-shots are alive; some of the original
: : vines are as thick as young trees and cracked in a few
: : places; however, the cracks seem to have healed over.
: : I want to try to bring this back.  The old vines are
: : very heavy and lying on the ground.  Should I try to 
: : raise them?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

: Hi Marguerite,

: Congratulations on your new home!  I don't know much about grapes, but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to revive the grapes.  These folks should be able to help.
