Default Siting a grape vine

"Rufus" wrote in message ...
I have been given a mature Riesling Sylvana grape vine which I intend to
plant somewhere in my garden. For the best results, would it do well planted
against a trellis on my west facing fence, or even better trained up a pole
in the open garden? Is it important to have a good flow of air around the
grape bunches for ripening? I understand that it is a good cropper that has
previously been grown in an unheated greenhouse. Any thoughts or cultural
advice would be most welcome.

Thank you,
Rufus


.......Rufus..Don't know about your variety of grape.But generally you
will have no trouble growing the vine and even sizable
fruit.The problem is ripening.You may need the heat off a wall
or that provided in a cool greenhouse.For years I had good
crops off a Black Hamburg in a G.H...luvly jubly....Ken
