3 Year Plants?

[1galbrewer]

I’m trying to find out if I was ripped off.

I bought two, 3 year old merlot vines from Ty Ty Nursery. I only came across all the bad reviews after buying them. They came to life fairly quickly and seem healthy which is good. The problem is I’m doubting they are 3 year old vines, and they aren’t grafted.

Can anyone say if these look like they’re 3 years old? Additionally, do these things have a chance of living or will phylloxera kill them? (I started them in pots cause we were still hitting freezing temps at night when I got them.)

I am not aware of any visual indicators to verfy age of cuttings. without grafts I doubt the grape planats will last a few years.

The stems are pretty big , they could be three years old.

They are at least two years old and maybe they callused them for half a year and are calling that one year.
