Hi Tom
Vineland shows Alwood on page 43 of one of their publications under "Grape
Cultivars and Rootstocks in Institute Planting".
Ask Brian Piott at bpiott@uoguelph.ca for some. They charge (I believe )
$1.25 per cuttings with a min of 10 + shipping
Cheers         Bert

Recommended as suitable for cool

from an Athens X

cluster-thinning because of
