100% success. 🌱

We're excited to share a 100% rooting success rate on these Chambourcin × Cynthiana cuttings from the advanced breeding program of viticulture pioneer Jeff Bloodworth. Bloodworth is renowned for achieving what was long thought impossible: successfully crossing bunch grapes and muscadine grapes.

Now the fun begins as we watch this next generation of vines grow and show us what they're made of!
