trying to save a grape vine

[Liz Demag]

I have a grape vine that I am trying to save. It looks like a couple of sticks in a root ball. I have high hopes that I can save it and that it isnt completely dead. does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about bringing her back to life.

I wish I could help. I kill every grape vine I get :/

We need more details. What do you know of the history of the plant you have? Did you have the grape planted somewhere on your property, and did you dig it up? How big is the root ball? Are there any leaves on the "sticks"? Has the root ball always been kept damp while it's been out of the ground? Are there root fibers showing themselves (growing out of the root ball)? Have you kept the root ball shaded (such as enfolded in damp burlap)?

Also, what kind of soil and sun-exposure possibilities do you have available for transplanting into?

Joel brings up an excellent point about needing more information!

The only other thing I can think of is: are the roots and twigs still alive? If the twigs break/snap easily when you bend them, they are dead.

I have had some of my wild Muscadine vines die off but resprout from the main trunk before though.
