Throughout summer they develop an abundance of sweet black grapes, these grapes are harvested between september and early november, they are edible straight from picking and can be used to make wine or alternatively as an ingredient in cooking. As a climbing variety, these shrubs take up very little space in the garden, the grapevines can be left to grow along the back of a border, pergola or along a fence.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune grape vines in late winter to encourage healthy growth and improve fruit production.
How to Water
Water grapes regularly during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid root rot. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Reduce watering once the grapes start to ripen.
How to Plant
Plant grape vines in well-drained soil with full sun. Dig a hole large enough for the roots and space well apart. Place the plant in the hole, cover with soil, and firm it in. Water thoroughly to help establish roots.
