From cuttings would appear to be a reasonable method. Len

Vegetative methods are used for propagating seedless grapes, such as grafting http://www.iversonsoftware(.)com/business/plant/Grafting.htm and cuttings http://ianrwww.unl.edu/pubs/horticulture/g618.htm# propagation Dee x with thanks to Google x
