Can I replant mature blueberry and grape plants?

The blueberries are worth a shot. Low-bush (“Maine-style”) varieties often won’t survive a transplant, but high-bush (“New Jersey-style”) ones generally do all right. Either type, it could work. Grapes will be tougher because of the tendrils. You’re going to cause the plant a lot of trauma just by separating the vines from what they’re grown on. But large chunks may survive and then grow on your property. Be sure to trim away all the parts that die. You don’t need any special equipment to take the plants. Use a spade to dig around the base of the plant (up to a two foot diameter if possible), gently pry it up (being careful to keep as much of the soil in the roots as possible) and stagger over to your yard or put it in a wheelbarrow. Removing the stump– This guy has good advice. I have a neat, low-exertion method using a cable spool, too if it interests you.
