Grape Vine
Vitis Vinifera
Bunches of sweet red, white or purple grapes
Commercial vineyards are becoming increasingly common in the south of England demonstrating how successfully grapes can be grown in the UK, either outdoors in a sheltered spot or indoors in an unheated conservatory.Grape vines are vigorous and fast growing climbers who appreciate cool roots but warm sunshine on their leaves and fruit.
Grape vines have been cultivated in Europe and the East for at least 6000 years and their cultivation is closely tied to the history of winemaking which was a huge industry in Ancient Greek and Mesoptian times. The ancient greeks also believed that Grapes, Wine and Grape sap had healing properties and indeed homepathic medicine is rediscovering some of the medicinal benefits of these plants.
Season: Mar to Oct
As well as their most popular use in making wine, Grapes are delicious straight from the vine or in summer desserts. Stuffed vine leaves are also a delicious mediterrenean delicacy and all the better for being made fresh.

How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Grapevine
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Grapevines are surprisingly well suited to the UK climate. In the right spot they are vigorous growers and can produce heavy crops of fruit from August to October.
Your grapevine will do best in a sunny but sheltered spot, ideally south facing with shaded or cool roots in summer. Grapevines need to be protected from cold winds, but they are fairly frost hardy and will put on fresh and vigorous leaf growth in the spring. Vines do well in a variety of soils but chalky and silty soils are prized by wine makers for the subtle flavours they add to the wine. Please check the label on your vine for more specific details on grape variety and suitable positions for your vine.
In their second year vines will need vigorous pruning to encourage fruiting. In winter all the side shoots should be clipped back from the main stems to encourage the formation of fruiting spurs. For good sized bunches of grapes, another pruning in June after the first flush of growth should be followed by thinning of fruit trusses in mid summer to leave just one truss per side shoot. The results are well worth the effort!
Mildew is the greatest problem with grapevines but many of the newer varieties have a good resistance. Mildew is caused by prolonged damp conditions or by irregular watering, if your plant is in a pot try moving it to a sunnier position and always train it to encourage airflow round each branch. Grapevines are deciduous so don’t be alarmed if it drops its leaves over the winter.
Different varieties are better suited to wine making or eating but don't forget the more sunshine the fruits receive the sweeter the grapes will taste.
