The message
from Alan Gould contains these words:

We grow Black Hamurgh vines in a greenhouse. They produce masses of huge
black, luscious, sweet grapes every year. Good for eating, winemaking,
freezing etc. They propagate well from cuttings.
They need a lot of summer and winter pruning, but they are well worth
the effort.

Cuttings taken from the same vine, growing outside 20 ft. away never
produce edible grapes.

Watch this space - next year! My Black Hamburg went in about a fortnight
ago, by a south-facing red brick gable-end.

Most years they flower very late then wither
away. Some varieties of dry white grapes are harvested locally in
favourable years, but they are grown mainly for decoration.

We have a good crop of vinyards here in Norfolk/Suffolk, from which some
award-winning wines have come.

Don't give up! Even if it means erecting a polythene tent over the vines
from early spring until the grapes are ripe.
