EDIBLE,  JUICE  & WINE GRAPE VINES
Boskoop Glory  -   BLACK, EDIBLE TABLE GRAPE
This grape  vine, Boskoop Glory, is often mistakenly  sold as a 'wine grape', but it is in our opinion one of THE best edible grapes you can grow in the UK climate. It has a really exceptional flavour, with medium sized grapes produced in quantity, even on a small 3-4ft vine. This is a fast growing grape vine, needing support such as a trellis, pagoda, or fence, or can be grown up and  around another climber, or tree. Fruit WILL ripen in this country and you  will have edible   grapes a year after planting  this vine.

ORNAMENTAL GRAPE VINES

Brandt - FIRE VINE
You have never seen anything quite like the spectacular colours of the Fire Grape Vine, Vitis 'Brandt'. One of the most vigorous grape vines available, it can cover an arbour in just one season(!). It fruits madly with bunches of black grapes, but this grape vine is mostly grown for it's magnificent autum foliage. Take a look at the picture to the left - this was taken of our own vine last autumn - incredible scarlet red with yellow veins, and these leaves cover the vine all through late summer to early winter. It has been the talking point of our garden for the last 3 years.

The bottom photo shows some of our large 8ft-9ft specimens in November with Autumn colour. .
