Green potted grapevines are grown in greenhouses. They are actively growing plants shipped in containers with soil. In spring, they have green leaves and new shoots, giving an immediate sense of vigor. These vines are already out of dormancy and photosynthesizing, making them visually appealing. Before spring, they will appear dormant and will not yet have a canopy or active shoots. These vines plant easily — see our How to Plant Green Potted Grapevines guide. Available as grafted vines with scion and rootstock or rootstock only. Available in 12", 24" and 36" sizes. Learn more about tall grapevines.

Shipping & handling
Green potted vines are more challenging to ship. The presence of soil, foliage, and active growth makes them heavier and more delicate. Leaves and shoots require protection from breakage, dehydration, and heat stress during transit. As a result, these vines take up more space, require careful packing, and cost significantly more to ship—especially in larger quantities. See our Shipping Guidelines to learn more about the differences in shipping costs.

Dormant bareroot grapevines are grown in outdoor fields, harvested and placed into cold storage to keep them in dormancy. The vine appears as a woody cane with a visible graft union and dormant bud near the top of the trunk. The roots are free of soil, which is why they are called "bareroot". While the plant may look simple at first glance, it is very much alive — just in its natural winter rest phase. These vines require more attention to plant, but start with more mature root systems than green potted vines — see our How to Plant Dormant Bareroot Grapevines guide. Once planted and temperatures warm, buds break and growth begins. Available in a 12" size. Available as grafted vines with scion and rootstock or rootstock only.

Shipping & handling
Dormant bareroot vines are extremely easy and efficient to ship. With no soil and no foliage, they are lightweight, compact, and resilient during transit. They tolerate temperature fluctuations well and can be packed securely in high quantities per box or pallet. This makes bareroot vines the most cost-effective option for shipping and ideal for early-season planting. We highly recommend choosing dorrmant bareroots for larger vine orders — see our Shipping Guidelines to learn more about the differences in shipping costs.
