Product description
Vitis Vroege 'Van Der Laan' is a deciduous, easy to grow climbing shrub that produces an abundance of large, sweet, tasty white grapes during autumn. The toothy lobed leaves of this shrub are bright green during spring and summer before turning golden yellow later in the year, around the time where these large cherry-like grapes should be ripe enough to pick, the fruits can be eaten fresh or alternatively can be used to make wine or as a cooking ingredient. 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. They are incredibly disease resistant and due to their hardiness, will grow in all but the coldest of climates in the UK, so pick a sunny south facing spot for it to thrive in.

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.
