  buds ? Grapes don't make adventitious buds. 
   That's one reason that rootstock cuttings are commonly disbudded before 
  grafting, so there won't be any suckering.
 On the other hand, if the voles 
  just ate the shoots, there might still be a secondary or tertiary bud down in 
  the area where the shoot came out.  They can take a while to push, 
  though, so be patient.  If they are rooted, pot them up and give them 
  something like fish fertilizer, pellets or dilute liquid, and wait.

 I just dug up the 75 grape sticks I had planted last year 
    for propagating. Some of the ones that I had given a months bottom heat 
    (for initial
 callusing) now have a half dozen 2' roots, and nearly 2' 
    growth up top.
 Wonderful.
 I am repeating that method right now with 
    currants to see if I can get them
 a head start .
 My question relates 
    to the 20 grape cuttings that the, yes, voles ate the
 new growth 
    completely off at the bud. These were short grape cuttings - so
 there 
    was only a bud at bottom for roots and a bud at top for new growth.
 These now have great roots - but no top, so...
 1. Can grapes sprout 
    from roots or adventitiously from the plain stem?
 2. Anything I can do to 
    help them along?
